Discussion Questions:

1. What is a theology of glory?
2. What is a theology of the cross?
3. How would you explain to someone Luther’s quote found on page 65, “The most severe trial…comes upon a person when he believes he has been forsaken and rejected by God.  Such a trial comes only to the ‘greatest of saints.’”
