sacrament or no. The implication that Penance is not a
sacrament, because it lacks a sign-action like immersion in
water or eating and drinking, goes back to the concluding
remarks of Luther's Babylonian Captivity, 1520
(WA 6.572; LW 36.124), a work however that had treated Penance among the
authentic sacraments (ibid., WA 6.543–49; LW 36.81–91). Notwithstanding
abuses, Luther gave hearty approval of private confession
with absolution (ibid., WA 6.546/10–17; LW 36.86). Also
the Augsburg Confession of 1530 treats confession with absolution as part of the sacramental instruction of the Lutheran
churches, cf. The Book of Concord 34f. Tyndale
accepts Luther's critical views but does not follow the constructive
side of Lutheran teaching. (JW)
