Ray Ellis’s Reviews > Martin Luther's Theology: Its Historical and Systematic Development > Status Update

Ch.20 - Sola Scriptura. Wow, this densely written! Luther initially reconciled church and scripture, but the indulgences crisis persuaded him to put Scripture over the church.

But OT is only binding on Jews. Scripture is clear, nothing is hidden
