Description
The place and significance of Martin Luther in the long history of Christian anti-Jewish polemic has been and continues to be a contested issue. The literature on the subject is substantial, and diverse. While efforts to exonerate Luther as "merely" a man of his times who "merely" perpetuated what he had received from his cultural and theological tradition have rightly been jettisoned, there still persists even among the educated public the perception...

Will the real Martin Luther please stand up? After five hundred years of examining the life of the 'father of the Reformation,' we must surely know all there is to know about Martin Luther. But is that true? Did he really nail his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door? Did he throw an inkpot at the devil? Did he plant an apple tree? Did his wife escape her convent in a herring barrel? German radio and television journalist Andreas Malessa looks at...

Description
The Theology of the Cross is one of the core elements of Martin Luther's theology. The development of this doctrine through the Heidelberg Disputation has been considered an essential element of Luther's breakthrough on justification, and crucial to his theological reforms and future split with the Roman Catholic Church.
These statements by Luther, originally penned to be defended in debate, are counter-intuitive, contrary, offensive, and thrilling...

How shall we live? What is the good life? What is the value of a person? What is my place in this world? Is God active in this world? These are questions that have been asked in every culture and in every era. From the Hebrew concept of Shalom (wholeness/well-being) to the Greek concept of Eudaimonia (happiness) and even to the American notion that all people have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, great thinkers have pondered...

"October 2017 marks five hundred years since Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg and launched the Protestant Reformation. At least, that's what the legend says. But with a figure like Martin Luther, who looms so large in the historical imagination, it's hard to separate the legend from the life, or even sometimes to separate assorted legends from each other. Over the centuries, Luther the man has given way to Luther...

The Protestant Reformation, a sweeping religious movement that swept Europe in the 16th century, irrevocably changed the course of Christianity. While fueled by theological disputes, its reverberations extended far beyond church walls, profoundly influencing politics, economics, and the very fabric of Western culture. From concepts of individual conscience to the structure of governance, echoes of the Reformation can still be found in modern institutions...

The Captivation of the Will provocatively revisits a perennial topic of controversy: human free will. Highly esteemed Lutheran thinker Gerhard O. Forde cuts to the heart of the subject by reexamining the famous debate on the will between Luther and Erasmus. Following a substantial introduction by James A. Nestingen that brings to life the historical background of the debate, Forde thoroughly explores Luther's "Bondage of the Will" and the dispute...

All Three volumes deal with the issue of biblical inerrancy (that the Bible is completely true and accurate, not only when it speaks to ideas of religious belief, but also when it speaks about factual elements of history and science, properly understood). This issue rocked the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, prompting the release of the first two volumes. Volume one consists of essays by John Warwick Montgomery...

Der Kleine Katechismus ist eine kurze Schrift, die Martin Luther 1529 verfasst hat. In manchen lutherischen Kirchen stellt er nach wie vor die Lehrgrundlage für den Konfirmandenunterricht dar. Der kleine Katechismus will als Einführung in den christlichen Glauben verstanden sein. Er ist mit dem Großen Katechismus und den Schmalkaldischen Artikeln der Teil der lutherischen Bekenntnisschriften, die aus Luthers eigener Feder stammen. Er hat deshalb...

Many faithful Catholics can legitimately ask themselves what has happened in the Church so that it has gone from affirming that Protestantism is the compendium of all the heresies that were before it, that have been after it and that can still be born to the ruin of souls. (Saint Pius X Catechism, 129) to affirm that the initiator of Protestantism is a witness of the gospel". Some of these faithful may believe that everything is the result of the...

"This book probes the beating theological heart of Luther's evangelical theology." - Michael J. Chan, Ph.D., Concordia College
In his Galatians commentary of 1535, Martin Luther insists that"our theology" relies on the proper distinction of two kinds of righteousness: Alien and Proper. In relation to our Creator, we freely receive our"alien" righteousness from Christ who has obtained it for us through his death and resurrection. In relation...
