In this edition of the Journal of Lutheran Ethics, the perennial issue of whether Christians are called to \u201ckeep the law\u201d is explored. While Jon Olson\u2019s article and Robin Mattison\u2019s response center on the Apostle Paul, his Jewish heritage and the extent to which he continued to observe the Sabbath and observe the dietary laws after his conversion, the larger theological question for Lutherans, who draw significantly upon Paul, concerns the so-called \u201cthird use of the law\u201d and the controversy among theologians referred to in the 1577 Formula of Concord.<\/p>\n
