“The speculative learning of the theologians are altogether worthless. I have read Bonaventure on this, and he almost drove me mad because I desired to experience the union of God with my soul (about which he babbles) through a union of intellect and will. This is a true speculative theology (and it's practical too): Believe in Christ and do what you ought.” Martin Luther, Tabletalk, Dietrich #644, fall 1533, Luther's Works, American Edition, 54:112
