Luther and Lewis

If a man preaches in the right manner, he gives praise to our Lord God.—Martin Luther, Short Writing on the Psalms, 1530-32

If anything whatever is common to all believers, and even to many unbelievers, it is the sense that in the gospel they have met a personality.... When we look into the Apocryphal gospels, we find ourselves constantly saying of this or that logion, ‘No. It’s a fine saying, but not His. That wasn’t how He talked.’—C. S. Lewis, Business of Heaven, p. 271.
