Description
Dr. Lane explores the theology and life of Martin Luther, focusing heavily on his rejection of the Roman Catholic sacramental system and his embrace of marriage as a holy estate ordained by God. Luther contrasts marriage as a picture of the greater, eternal union between Christ (the Bridegroom) and the Church (the Bride), where faith is the "wedding band" conferring Christ's righteousness and gifts to the believer, providing confidence against sin, death, and the devil. Finally, Luther addresses divorce, asserting that Moses allowed it only due to the Jews' "hardness of heart" (to prevent worse sin) and that Christ reaffirms the creation ordinance that marriage is fundamentally indissoluble.
