AB For Luther, the validity of the Word of God was so self-evident that he neither wrote a treatise on it nor considered it in his catechisms. He had experienced the power of the Word of God in biblical texts existentially, and he therefore intellectually pursued the way in which it revealed itself in the preaching and progress of the Reformation. But why is so little of this power of the Word felt today? Did Luther deceive himself? Linguists, on the one hand, confirm Luther's pragmatic view; on the other hand, the "word" seems to be increasingly losing force in comparison with the visual. How can we experience the Word of God anew and afresh, and how can Luther be helpful in this endeavor?
