Re: Protestant Canon

Bainton's Here I Stand is arguably the most popular of all Luther biographies in English (perhaps though not the best), and is available free on-line if you snoop around for it. In context, Bainton was saying that Luther could find Paul's explicit theology that "The just shall live by faith" (Romans 3:28) implicitly in the Gospels. That's why Bainton gave the example of the paralytic. Both Protestants and Catholics have a systematic theology. It shouldn't be surprising when a preacher of either persuasion finds unifying themes implicitly where they're presented elsewhere explicitly. That's all Bainton was getting at. Bainton goes on to point out immediately that Luther also exegeted Scripture in his sermons beyond finding the heart of the gospel:

You mean the popes at CA let you back in? I am "banned for life" but they still ask me for money.
It is good that you continue to misconstruance of Luther. Yet I'm amazed at RCs preoccupation with Luther. Due to their own thinking of men above that which is written in Scripture, and finding security in the former, they seem to think that we must live by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Luther.
I've yet to be banned from CA. I've been chastised a few times, but not banned.
As to RC preoccupation with Luther, as far as I can tell it's only the conservative Internet-type of Romanists who are so concerned. The majority of them (as well as most Protestants I guess) don't care or may not even know who Luther was or what he said.
