Continuing on thw topic of the generation of Lutherans after Luther's death from our preceding episode, Dr. Wade Johnston comes on the show to discuss his recent book Life Under the Cross: A Biography of the Reformer Matthias Flacius Illyricus.
The story of Flacius alone gives us a big picture on 2nd-generation Lutheranism as he was a significant figure involved with most of the significant controversies and debates that happened in the time period Luther's death and the Formula of Concord.
Wade Johnston is assistant professor of history and theology at Wisconsin Lutheran College and an ordained pastor in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. He also is a contributor at 1517.org and hosts the podcast Let the Bird Fly. Tune in for a fascinating discussion.
