Luther Verstehen: Person - Werk - Wirkung [German]

By Markus Buntfuss

Protestants are less oriented towards dogmatic instructions and church institutions than towards specific individuals who live and reflect their religious beliefs in an exemplary way. To this day the reformatory tradition is therefore shaped by the lasting impression of important reformatory personalities. In the light of this, the contributions of this volume want to give from theological and philosophical perspectives a critical appraisal of the person of Martin Luther, of his work and its impact. The topics covered include Luther's attitude towards the Old Testament and Judaism, his contribution to a theory of translation, his conception regarding the angels and the Christ Child, the theological and psychoanalytical reception of Luther in the 20th century and his contribution to the development of theatre.
