#OTD June 17, 362:
Julian the Apostate issued an edict regulating teachers throughout the Roman Empire. By requiring instructors to be approved by civic authorities and to teach in harmony with classical pagan texts, the measure effectively excluded many Christians from the teaching profession. Part of Julian’s broader effort to revive paganism, the policy aimed to curb Christian influence over the rising generation.

#OTD June 16, 1539:
During an ordination exam in Wittenberg, Martin Luther was confronted with the claim: “Faith justifies; faith is a work; therefore works justify.”
He responded:

“Faith justifies not as a work, nor as a quality, nor as knowledge, but as assent of the will and firm confidence in the mercy of God. For if faith were only knowledge, then the devil would certainly be saved… Accordingly faith must be understood otherwise than as knowledge. In part, however, it is assent.”

Luther, Table Talk No. 4655 (June 16, 1539), LW 54:359–360

#OTD June 14, 1936:
Death of English apologist, poet, and writer G.K. Chesterton. He loved paradoxes, which he called "supreme assertions of truth," and used them often in his writing. Poet T.S. Eliot credited him with doing "more than any man in his time … to maintain the existence of the [Christian] minority in the modern world."
Chesterton converted from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism in 1922.
