Study Notes
Luther's Mindset on the Lord's Supper
- Luther's conflict with Carstadt fixes in his brain the idea that those who hold a symbolic view of the Lord's Supper are "crazy people"
- This mindset is connected to the peasants' rebellion in 1525 and the potential downfall of the Reformation in 1521-1522
- Luther views Zwingli as the polite face of craziness, and this shapes his perception of Zwingli's views on the Lord's Supper
Luther's Shift in Sacramental Thinking
- The conflict with Carstadt leads to a shift in Luther's writings on the Lord's Supper, focusing on the issue of presence

- The text of John 6 is crucial for understanding the Lord's Supper, and its interpretation affects one's view of the sacrament

- Initial break with Rome and the Roman theology of the mass (Treatise on the New Testament, 1520)
