Classical Structure

For the common elucidation of our respective perspectives, let us write these on our computer screens with black ink:

• Exordium - Introduction
• Narratio - Statement of facts
• Partitio - Drawing up battle lines
• Propositio - Thesis statement
• Confirmatio - Positive argumentation
• Refutatio - Negative argumentatio
• Peroratio - Conclusion

That he, being innocent, might be condemned by an earthly judge, and thereby set us free from the judgment of God which, in all its severity, ought to fall upon us.

Nicea - Week 1 Heidelberg

• Why is he called Christ, that is, the Anointed One?

       Because he is ordained by God the Father and anointed with the Holy Spirit to be our chief Prophet and Teacher, fully revealing to us the secret purpose and will of God concerning our redemption; to be our only High Priest, having redeemed us by the one sacrifice of his body and ever interceding for us with the Father; and to be our eternal King, governing us by his Word and Spirit, and defending and sustaining us in the redemption he has won for us.
