Dear God, what people those were! This David was a husband, king, warlord, almost crushed by political affairs and submerged in public business, and yet he wrote such a book!
In like fashion the New Testament was written by real Jews, for the apostles were Jews. Thus God indicates that we should honor the Word of God in the synagogue. We Gentile Christians have no book that has such authority in the churchexcept Augustine, who is the only doctor in the church of the Gentiles who stands out above others. Accordingly we Gentiles are in no way equal to the Jews. Paul therefore makes an excellent distinction between Sarai and Hagar and their two sons. Hagar was a woman, too, but far from the equal of Sarai. It was therefore terrible temerity on the part of the pope to dare, as a man without Scripture, to oppose the Holy Scriptures. -- Martin Luther March 20, 1539
