The Incarnation and the Lord\u27s Supper in Luther

The ways of God to men are one. Despite the paradox of Law and Gospel, despite His myriad providence, despite our wondering and paltry understanding, we may yet discern a unity in the way in which the holy God deals with us. It is the way of His grace, of which Christ is the archetype and the Lord\u27s Supper the consequent and continuing form. It will be the attempt of this paper to set forth some of the aspects of the parallel between God\u27s dealing with us in Christ and Christ\u27s dealing with us in His Supper as grasped and expressed by Luther, especially in the controversies concerning the Lord\u27s Supper in the 1520\u27s
