Testament documents; 3) the proper relationships between facts, faith and proof; 4) the relationship
between apologetics and theology.
SYT S571 LUTHER ON THE LORD’S SUPPER
This seminar will attempt to hear Dr. Luther’s clear and pure confession of the Lord’s
Supper from his writings, lectures, sermons, liturgies and catechisms. Special attention will

and the drinking of His blood for the forgiveness of sin. In his second catechism sermon
