Refo500 Academic Studies Volume 98: How Luther Regards Moses : The Lectures on Deuteronomy
Outline : Though undertreated by modern scholars, Martin Luther'slectures on Deuteronomy are critical to understanding histheological development as an exegete as well as the courseof the Reformation in the wake of Luther's return from theWartburg in 1522. In these lectures, Luther engages deeplywith Moses, whom he sees as an author, prophet, and ruler.These three ways of regarding Moses allow Luther to forgea new approach to the Mosaic law, shaping his response towhat he perceives as the evangelical legalism of AndreasKarlstadt and Thomas Müntzer. By shedding light on theseexegetical principles and connecting these lectures to surrounding events, this study brings new clarity as to why Luther broke with Karlstadt and the nature of his dispute with Müntzer, demonstrates the importance of the Hebrew Bible in shaping Luther's mature exegesis, and opens the door for fresh perspectives not only on the events of 1521-1525 but Luther's entire career as interpreter of scripture.
