Outline: Recent ferment in Luther studies has led to new appreciation of his thought and his significance in the emergence and shaping of the modern world. This exciting volume brings there perspectives on the Reformer into a systematic framework. Here new understandings of Luther's popular image, his effect on the Peasants' War, his contribution to language and letters, his chief theological insights, his relations with Muslims and Jews - all lead to fresh interpretation of his personal psychology, social impact, and theological creativity. Especially fruitful are rethinking of such classical topics as his piety, his notion of justification, freedom in relation to modernity, theology of the cross, and the priesthood of all believers. An endlessly fascinating figure, Luther continues to inform our understanding of what it means to be human, and this volume is destined to mark a turning point in the appropriation of his complex and important legacy.
The outsized figure of Martin Luther looms large over the whole modern horizon; and his experience, insights, gifts, and convictions have deeply informed many facets of Western culture. Assaying that legacy, this signal volumes probes Luther's civilizational impact - from religion and politics to music and language - and how it can best be understood today. Assembling an international cast of noted scholars and theologians, Christine Helmer and her colleagues take the measure of newer approaches to Luther, new studies of his context, and new understandings of how this pivotal figure and his often converted legacy. The result: a fascinating assessment of this first modern thinker, his monumental impact, and his relevance in the astoundingly altered world today. Among the most intriguing findings is the way in which Luther's key ideas take on new hues and pertinence in a world as perilous as our own.
