A Theology of Relationships with Robert Kolb | YouTube videos Sheets Table

In this episode, Kelsi interviews Dr. Robert Kolb about his newest book, "Face to Face: Luther's View of Reality." In Face to Face, Dr. Kolb argues that Martin Luther's theology is underpinned by his understanding of relationships, both how Christians came "face to face" with God (Coram Deo) and "face to face" with the world (Coram Mundo). It's these relationships that give us reality itself.

Dr. Kolb is professor emeritus of Systematic Theology at Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, Missouri, and a world-renowned authority on Martin Luther and the history of the Reformation.
