As to Luther, I only judge him for his political beliefs, actions, and effects, which are deplorable.
His theology, narrowly conceived, may possess valuable stuff if kept apart from his politics, I do not know. Best F From: "Stephen C.

And I have why Wittgenstein (who I see as Peirce in different clothing) would not have merited a Nobel over Russell. I have not weighed in on this theological conversation as I am in the midst of a consideration which harks back to Tillich's famous god beyond god remark. I am seeing a Word that is rather independent of the force that is the moving and still evolving cosmos which is what it is. In effect we play a part perhaps in inventing God due to our dialogic nature. Well this is not clear but it is why I have not weighed in.

He is much too well-regarded. I just wrote a pamphlet (in Danish) in order to raise a countervoice to the emerging celebrations of the "Luther Year" of 2017. Luther was anti-reason, anti-liberty, anti-tolerance, anti-science and founded theocracies in the emerging Lutheran states. Happy new year!
