Book Martin Luther and the Shaping of the Catholic Tradtion

Download or read book Martin Luther and the Shaping of the Catholic Tradtion written by Nelson H. Minnich and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Martin Luther distributed his 95 Theses on indulgences on October 31, 1517, he set in motion a chain of events that profoundly transformed the face of Western Christianity. The 500th anniversary of the 95 Theses offered an opportunity to reassess the meaning of that event. The relation of the Catholic Church to the Reformation that Luther set in motion is complex. The Reformation had roots in the late-medieval Catholic tradition and the Catholic reaction to the Reformation altered Catholicism in complex ways, both positive and negative. The theology and practice of the Orthodox church also entered into the discussions. A conference entitled “Luther and the Shaping of the Catholic Tradition,” held at The Catholic University of America, with thirteen Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant speakers from Germany, Finland, France, the Vatican, and the United States addressed these issues and shed new light on the historical, theological, cultural relationship between Luther and the Catholic tradition. It contributes to deepening and extending the recent ecumenical tradition of Luther-Catholic studies.

Book Martin Luther in His Own Words

Download or read book Martin Luther in His Own Words written by Jack D. Kilcrease and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though most of the Protestant world can trace its roots back to the Reformation, many people today have only a vague knowledge of Martin Luther's writings. "Didn't he write the Ninety-Five Theses?" Jack Kilcrease and Erwin Lutzer step into this vacuum with a carefully selected collection of Luther's works. Centered around the five solas of the Reformation (sola Scriptura, sola fide, sola gratia, sola Christus, soli Deo gloria), the selections offer readers an accessible primer on works that are foundational to the theology of Protestantism in all its forms. Introductions to each writing include an explanation of the historical context and the theological significance of the piece. Students of the Bible, pastors, teachers, and seminary students will find this collection an enlightening introduction to Luther in his own words and a useful addition to their libraries.

Book Martin Luther s Preisthood of All Believers

Download or read book Martin Luther s Preisthood of All Believers written by Kristian T. Baudler and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a "must have" in preparation for celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Reformation! "Martin Luther's PRIESTHOOD OF ALL BELIEVERS - In an Age of Modern Myth" challenges today's popular myth that Martin Luther was a happy ecumenist, a Roman Catholic at heart who having disrupted church unity for reasons of good faith, was nevertheless eagerly seeking a path home to Rome. Frustrated with the slow pace of visible church unity, some Lutheran ecclesiasts have busied themselves in recent years with creating a more ecumenically friendly Luther - by literally rewriting history! The result is a portrait of a reformer who in truth never lived and a Reformation that never occurred. With the aid of original sixteenth century documents-some never before translated into English - Baudler makes the powerful case that the picture of Martin Luther and his role in the Reformation being taught in American schools, churches, and seminaries today is largely fictional, bearing almost no resemblance to the actual man of history. By removing layers of mythology applied to Luther in recent decades to make him more episcopally palatable, the author reveals a powerful portrait of a reformer who boldly emphasized the simple faith of the laity over the professional clericalism of his day in often shocking, humorous, and irreverent ways. This book challenges historians and theologians of all denominations, both professional and armchair, to reassess what Luther's Reformation means for the church in our time.

Book Promising Faith for a Ruptured Age

Download or read book Promising Faith for a Ruptured Age written by John T. Pless and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining his deep knowledge of Luther with a passion to speak the promising word of the gospel with clarity and integrity in our age, Oswald Bayer has emerged as a leading Lutheran theologian. The chapters in this Festschrift demonstrate the wide scope of Bayer's interest: Martin Luther, Johann Georg Hamann, the doctrine of justification, ethics, hermeneutics, theological method, sacraments, and the theology of lament. These essays, written by scholars from North America and Australia who have been influenced by Bayer's pioneering work, demonstrate the resources that his work has for not only Reformation studies and systematic theology but also for preaching, liturgical theology, pastoral care, and apologetics. For those who are not yet acquainted with the contributions of this Tubingen theologian, Promising Faith for a Ruptured Age: An English-Speaking Appreciation of Oswald Bayer will serve as a guide to and commentary on Bayer's multifaceted approach to theology. Those familiar with Bayer's work as a systematic theologian and Luther scholar will discover new applications of fundamental themes for in interdisciplinary research, ecumenical conversation, and church life.
