Lex Orandi Lex Credendi? | The Lutheran Worship Podcast
-
In this episode, Kip Fox and Steve Zank explore the history, meaning, and controversy surrounding the phrase 'lex orandi, lex credendi'. Tracing its origins and historical context, they examine common misunderstandings, questions of attribution, and the phrase’s relationship to both Roman Catholic and Lutheran theology. Together, they consider how the expression has been used in discussions of doctrine and worship, why it has gained prominence in recent Lutheran conversations, and why careful historical and theological clarity is essential when appealing to it.
