I understand that the gospels were written and canonized after the living Gospel was preached, but I was talking about Luther ignoring the written gospels as he developed his theories.
So then the Gospel existed before the Gospels were written, so what is the Gospel? What is the "good news" that is contained in the Gospel and the other NT scripture?
BTW Luther read through the scriptures several times a year I believe, how often have you read through them?
