    Abstract
    Reformation Rediscovered: Worship Principles and Practices that Call for Thanksgiving by Jacob C. Behnken, delivered at the 2024 Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary Symposium, examines foundational principles of worship that were rediscovered during the Reformation. The essay traces Martin Luther’s theological understanding of worship as centered on the gospel, highlighting his resistance to both Roman Catholic and radical Reformer practices. Behnken explores how Luther's reforms preserved elements of historical Christian worship while removing what he viewed as unbiblical practices. The essay discusses Luther's reliance on the power of the Word and Sacraments and his emphasis on congregational participation. Through a survey of Luther’s writings, Behnken shows how Lutheran worship traditions were shaped by the doctrine of justification and the desire for God’s Word to have “free course” in worship. The essay concludes by reflecting on how these principles continue to inform Lutheran worship practices 500 years later, calling for renewed thanksgiving for God's gifts through worship.
