Today, in a very different sort of environment,[130] the majority of Christian scholars, Protestant as well as Catholic, recognize as tenuous putative biblical grounds for assuming that God stopped healing people at the close of the first century.[131] For some to deny the possibility of current miracles based on particular Reformation traditions (rather than “always reforming” based on Scripture) would place some of Luther’s heirs in a hermeneutically and epistemically ironic position—though not a novel one—of making tradition normative for interpreting Scripture.[132]
