Becoming a real theologian

"As soon as God's Word becomes known through you, the devil will afflict you, will make a real doctor (theologian or teacher) of you, and will teach you by his temptations to seek and to love God's Word. For I myself...owe my papists many thanks for so beating, pressing and frightening me through the devil's raging that they have turned me into a fairly good theologian, driving me to a goal should never have reached." - Martin Luther.
