Placing the emphasis on \"man,\" it confronts a fundamental tension in Reformation thought and locates it in the context of the ministerial vocation, where the strain shows most clearly and affects Herbert most deeply. Luther's doctrine of justification by faith calls into question the value of all human work from a divine perspective, but the dilemma is especially pointed with respect to preachers: given the increased emphasis on human depravity, how could they presume to give voice to divine truths? The question thus posed is a central one, stimulating among other things a whole new theology of vocation and eliciting different responses along the entire spectrum of Reformation writing. What keeps it from being merely rhetorical, especially as it concerns preachers, is an equally firm insistence on the doctrine of the Word. If Luther's concept of justification seems on the one hand to disqualify human speech as an agency of divine truth, his emphasis on the Word on the other hand empowers the preacher, making the pulpit much more central in Protestantism than it had been in the medieval church; and by privileging the spoken and written word, mechanically reproduced, the doctrine carries the practical advantage of facilitating the rapid and persuasive dissemination of his ideas. In the light of these conflicting pressures, ministers are forced to re-examine the nature and function of their vocation and the status of its","PeriodicalId":143254,"journal":{"name":"George Herbert Journal","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127354065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some poems seem to ettribute ß meterielity to the socroment that is Lutheran if not Roman Catholic in its theology. Either we must assume thet Herbert wes confused about the eucharist, changed his mind often, or did not care to formulate e consistent doctrine, or we must ossume thot we heve misunderstood the wey he wes using theology to creóte meoning in his poetry. I think the letter is the more likely explonotion. As a poet Herbert is more concerned with affirming the richness of the communion experience then setting forth into divinity. We connot eesily reduce the secramentel theology of either of his communion poems to Celvinist or Lutheran labels. In the Williams manuscript poem, he seems to undermine all efforts to fathom rationally the mysteries of sacramental grace. In The Temple poem he insists, on the one hand, that grace and the elements are two very separate entities; but, on the other hand, he intimetes thet the socroment regenerates both soul end body (through the \"spirits\" of the heert). By examining Herbert's sacramentel theology in these two poems, we will see thet es e poet he truly did as well as the théologiens in expressing end celebrating the mystery of the eucharist.
