Luther was more concise than Mark Dever. But hey, Dever's an American. What do you expect?
As the church in the West faces social marginalization unknown for over 1500 years, the question of the marks of the church, those identifying features which she possesses, is likely to become more pressing. Standard Reformed approaches tend to offer three marks: Word truly preached, sacraments properly administered, and church discipline correctly applied. There was always some flexibility within the Reformed tradition on these points. Calvin argued for only two explicit marks, Word and sacraments, while the Westminster Assembly put worship in the place of discipline.&nbs
