They explain how Luther moved away from Plato and Aristotle and came to see God\u2019s Word, preaching, Baptism, the Lord\u2019s Supper, and absolution as the true means through which God gives Christ and salvation. The conversation shows why Luther believed the Gospel must be separated from mystical ideas of ascending to God through suffering, rituals, dreams, or human effort.
