Description
Theological speculation typically does not enjoy prestige and rightly so! Christianity has always tried to assert the doctrine of the church as separate from individual theologians’ opinions. However, not all theologians follow this rule in their writings as history has shown. This sectional will take a look at the speculations on the beginning and end of Irenaeus of Lyons, Maximus the Confessor and Martin Luther, showing that these speculations do not happen at the whim of the theologian but arise from historical context, philosophical presuppositions and biblical doctrine.
