An important Lutheran distinction is between the theology of the Cross and the theology of glory. Jeff Mallinson, over at the Jagged Word, offers 9.5 Theses on theologians of glory. After the jump, I list the theses, but you will want to go to the site to see what he says about each one.
From Jeff Mallinson, 9.5 Theses on Theologians of Glory, The Jagged Word:
1. Theologians of glory don’t laugh.
2. Theologians of glory are afraid to cry.
3. Theologians of glory are afraid to experience spirituality.
4. Theologians of glory want spiritual power that they can wield like magicians.
