Johann Pistorius: "Christus Est Lex" ("Christ is the Law")

 16th-century German Protestant theologian Johann Pistorius, in 1553, wrote that:

 



 

Lex est sapientia Dei; Christus est sapientia Dei; ergo Christus est lex (English: The Law is the Wisdom of God; Christ is the Wisdom of God; therefore, Christ is the Law)
