Gerhard and Walther

Contemplate, O devout soul, the exalted dignity of the Church, and render due thanks to Almighty God. Great indeed are the benefits which God bestows upon us in and through the Church.—Johann Gerhard, Sacred Meditations XXIII.

The most frightening thing about this complete transformation of the Christian faith in our day concerns the role of the teacher. It is the total defection from the most supreme principle in all of Christianity: that Holy Scripture is the Word of the great God.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 893.

I believe it should be "principle." Not to criticize, of course. We are all sometimes really too rushed to be 100% careful. Thanksgiving blessings to y ou & yours.
