Excerpt from The Lutheran Doctrine of the Lord's Supper: Its Biblical and Scientific BasisFor the Christian the court of final appeal in all matters of doctrine is the Word of God. Not to any particular passage, but to the plain teach ing of the Scripture as a whole. On no point is the teaching of the Word more explicit than on the fact of our infinite need of Christ. But the Christ that is needed is the historic Christ, the human and the divine, the Son of God and the Son of man. The writers of the New Testament know no other Christ than the One who for us and for our salvation was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary and was made man.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
