| Summary: | "Martin Luther’s 1518 Heidelberg Disputation claims that those who comprehend God’s activity as “seen through suffering and cross” are worthy to be called theologians. In recent decades, theologians and other interpreters have described and implemented Luther’s theologia crucis terminology in myriad ways. One question prompted by meditations on Luther’s cross theology is: What is the connection between the suffering and cross of Christ and the suffering and cross experienced by others? The Bremen Church order of 1534 appears to provide a description of such a connection. Unique among the other church orders of the time, Bremen’s church order concludes with a chapter titled, “About the Cross.” The chapter describes a number of principles related to questions concerning the divine purpose for and the human experience of “suffering and cross” - especially as these relate to the preaching office."
