Key elements of Bucer's mature understanding of the Lord's Supper, expressed in two major works from 1534, were the use of the term exhibere (to present, convey, or bestow), the instrumental nature of the ministry, and the testimony of those church fathers. Based on an understanding of 1 Cor. 10:16-17 and John 6:54-58 that differed from both Luther and Zwingli, as well as the patristic application of Eph. 5:30 to the Eucharist, Bucer argued that Christ used the ministers of the church to convey his true body and blood to the faithful with the word and elements of the Lord's Supper. Bucer's new appreciation of patristic eucharistic theology, along with an understanding of the sacraments as linking promise and sign and a focus on what happened in the Supper rather than on the nature of the elements, allowed him to find common ground with Philipp Melanchthon and so paved the way for the 1536 Wittenberg Concord.","PeriodicalId":81901,"journal":{"name":"Lutheran quarterly (Gettysburg, Pa. : 1949)","volume":"37 1","pages":"27 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46540166","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}

Their deaths were the first executions of the Reformation. Like Martin Luther, the men were members of the Congregation of German Reformed Augustinians, a small reform group within the broader Augustinian Order. The deaths moved Luther to compose his first song, a ballad entitled A New Song Here Shall Be Begun. This article explores the Congregation’s history in the Low Countries, the background to the executions, and Luther’s connections to this episode. It argues that when understood in this broader context, Luther did not see these deaths as merely the predictable outcome of the Reformation clash of ideas, or simply as an opportunity for anti-Church propaganda (as some have argued), but as confirmation that God Himself was at work in the early Reformation.","PeriodicalId":81901,"journal":{"name":"Lutheran quarterly (Gettysburg, Pa. : 1949)","volume":"36 1","pages":"373 - 389"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42110476","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}
