Thinking With Luther About Jesus (Aka Sweetlips), Gary M. Simpson

Faculty Publications

In Luther’s commentary on Ps 45, Jesus can properly by understood as “SweetLips” because of Luther’s bold nuptial rhetoric describing the beauty of Christ the Bridegroom. Jesus’ lips overflow with grace and are, therefore, pure sugar and honey
