@SubstituteS23 @lutheranpeasant @JustandSinner @DrJordanBCooper @Econotheist knows more here, but Melanchthon's philosophical works are going to be more digestible than technical scholastic works and the Corpus Reformatorum scans on Archive/Google Books are good, so you don't have to deal with 17th c. facsimiles.

@lutheranpeasant @JustandSinner @DrJordanBCooper @GerhardsGhost if one knew latin where should one start with this?

When is @JustandSinner and @DrJordanBCooper going to release a handbook on Lutheran philosophers as a follow up to “Makers of the Modern Mind”?

Jared and Seth are streaming a calculation of the rapture as 1 EST! youtube.com/live/LDN-Xz-Mx…

℣ May they rest in peace. ℟ Amen." This omission reflects Synod's Catechism at the time: Q. 214, "For whom should we pray? For ourselves and for all other men; but not for the dead." How much consolation has been lost in mourning families by this omission?

Another later: After "℣ Let us pray for the sick and the prisoners. ℟ Redeem them, O God of Israel, out of all their troubles" the old breviaries have "℣ Let us pray for the faithful departed. ℟ Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon them...

Few realize how liturgically deficient we are today, yes, even in some of our more traditional parishes. This is simply due to the material we have in print. Consider this microcosm in The Suffrages in ELHB/TLH:

@castironfilet Absolutely

@GerhardsGhost pray tell, will it be available in hardback

Seth is producing a new Lutheran hymnal, using the Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-Book, the first Missouri Synod English hymnal, as a base. This new edition of the ELHB, which is in the public domain, will include the entire selection of ELHB hymns with tunes,

@WmWeedon might be interested in this

which be included in full for all Sundays and major feasts. Much more content will also be included as will be seen with time. All content in this hymnal will be under CC-BY license, which means free for any use, including commercial use, so long as attribution is given.

@SubstituteS23 No changes to hymnody as I am simply providing a facsimile of the hymn section, not redoing the typesetting. No timeline really. Likely over a year out still

@GerhardsGhost Do you have a general timeline? Also any plans to restore hymn verses omitted in ELHB? Or no changes to the hymnody?

@caesar_beaver One can actually do a reversal on a Gerhard argument in which he says that the MT would be insufficient on its own without vowel points. Gerhard argues that this means the vowel points are original. New mss evidence has shown this false. Therefore, the MT is insufficient.

Other than Stone Choir, what's the best argument/arguer for the LXX? Berith Press/Reformed Masora has one for the MT but I'm just genuinely curious.

@LutheranSage Not a single translation with LXX and Robinson–Pierpont Majority Text.

Can you spot the problem here?

@ByzCat Is there a group in Rome that believes that while the NO is licit, it is imprudent to use it?

It seems to me that many SSPX defenders pull a motte and bailey. If the SSPX merely celebrated the TLM and used older books for catechesis, they would be much more defensible. I would still think they are wrong for disobedience to the Church, but it would not be as bad. The issue though is that the real position of the SSPX is not that they prefer to the TLM, but that they consider the NO to be illicit and they also reject the ordinary magisterium when it conflicts with their private judgement. I do understand their concerns given the bad interpretations of certain documents like DH or NA that float around popularly, but I do not think that such a position of persistent rejection of the ordinary magisterium can be maintained. Defenders of the SSPX need to defend the latter position, not merely the former. I also spent some time with an SSPX priest and he was wonderful. I really want the SSPX to be fully reconciled to the Church, as I'm sure they are far more orthodox than a lot of priests who are not only allowed, but enabled by bishops to promote heresy. The application of law here is being done inconsistently, and often for a weaponized purpose. If I were pope, on my first day I would allow any priest of the Latin rite to celebrate the TLM if he wishes. But two wrongs do not make a right, and the unjust suppression of the TLM does not mean the SSPX has the right to call into question the teachings of the magisterium.
