New research on Luther focuses on his exciting potential to be a dialogue partner for religion and theology today. This edited collection considers how Luther's most important reformation-theological insights have been interpreted and understood throughout the past century and how his key theological ideas can be recontextualized by contemporary global issues. Luther's theology is ultimately relevant to the political, economic, and justice-dimensions of human flourishing.
Die neuere Lutherforschung legt einen Schwerpunkt auf die hochinteressanten Möglichkeiten, Luther als einen Dialogpartner für Religion und Theologie heute zu lesen. Der vorliegende Sammelband verdeutlicht, wie Luthers wichtigste reformationstheologische Einsichten im vergangenen Jahrhundert interpretiert und verstanden wurden und wie seine theologischen Schlüsselvorstellungen für die modernen globalen Fragestellungen fruchtbar gemacht werden können. Luthers Theologie ist in ihrer ethischen Bedeutung von höchster Relevanz für Politik, Ökonomie und soziale Gerechtigkeit.
