The life and writings of Martin Luther (1483-1546) continue to challenge people throughout the world in the twenty-first century. His paradigmatic shift in defining God and what it means to be human abandoned a foundation for viewing human creatures that was anchored in Aristotle's anthropology. Luther defined the Revealed God in terms of his mercy and love for human beings, based not on their merit and performance but rather on God's unconditioned grace.
Luther's development of a 'Wittenberg way' of practicing theology is seen reflected in a deep personal commitment to pastoral care of common Christians as well as his reading of the biblical text. Crucially, at the heart of all interpretation of the Bible, Luther placed the distinction between the 'gospel', God's unmerited gift of identity as his children, and the 'law', the expression of God's expectations for the performance of his children in good works. Professor Kolb places the development and exposition of these key presuppositions in Luther's thinking within the historical context of late medieval theology and piety and the unfolding dynamics of political and social change at the dawn of the modern era.
Robert Kolb is Professor of Systematic Theology at Concordia Seminary, Saint Louis.
