At their best Lutherans remember that the Reformation turned away from subjectivity to
the objective means of grace, but the modern fascination with interiority, with «the dynamics of faith,» regularly mutes this realization.
Furthermore, since the act
of judgement - love transcends
objective concepts and involves the knowing subject's active synthesis to perceive the
meaning of objects — there is no objectivity apart from subjectivity — external facts need an interpretation under
grace's elevating influence to produce the act
of faith.
