The Foolishness Of God

Dr. Siegbert Becker (1914-1984) has gone a long way in clearing up the confusion over Luther's concept of reason. All who read this monograph will be convinced that while Luther may have been antirationalistic, he was not irrational. It would be difficult to find a better description of Luther's view of reason than that given by Becker: It is not Christianity that needs to be made reasonable. It is reason that needs to be made Christian.
