Luther Refracted: The Reformer's Ecumenical Legacy

By Piotr J. Malysz

Luther Refracted speaks to the currency that Luthers life and thought continue to enjoy in todays Christian reflection. The contributors, representing a variety of Christian denominations, demonstrate Luthers lasting impact on their own traditions and, together with the Lutheran respondents, encourage a fresh understanding of the Reformer. In their at times vigorous engagement, Luthers legacy comes to light not only as variously received but also as contradicted, and transformed, only to reemerge as a fruitful leaven for further thought and transformation. All the essays presented here witness to Luthers significance as a formidable doctor ecclesiae, a teacher of the church.
