Herder vs Luther

Herder and his church

Since this month ten years ago, when I spent a summer month in Weimar from Moscow, I have wondered about Herder’s “Christianity”. Just a while ago, reading on Herder on Luther, I recognized how official “Weimar Christianity” was more “menschlich”. Luther’s sola fides and man as inherently sinful were not accepted. (NB: Billy Grahams home is about 30 miles away.)
