Wittenberg Meets the World: Reimagining the Reformation at the Margins

By Alberto L. García and John A. Nunes

Book Overview

Proposes creative implications of the 500-year Reformation tradition for today

As the global church assesses the legacy of the Lutheran Reformation, Alberto Garc a and John Nunes in this book reimagine central Reformational themes from black, Hispanic, and other perspectives traditionally at the margins of catholic-evangelical communities.

Focusing on the central theme of justification, Garc a and Nunes delve into three interlinked aspects of the church's life in the world--martyria (witness), diakonia (service), and koinōnia (fellowship). They argue that it is critically important and vitally enriching for the whole church, especially Eurocentric Protestant churches, to learn from the grassroots theological emphases of Christian communities in the emerging world.
