Book Reviews of Martin Luther's Theology: A Contemporary Interpretation
Book Review: Luther's Sixteenth Century Theology for the Twenty-First Century Church
Summary: 5 Stars
The great Tübingen Luther-scholar, Dr. Oswald Bayer, published a book in 2003 (in German, published by Mohr/Siebeck) giving a contemporary interpretation of Luther's sixteenth century theology. I had been using the German edition extensively in my dissertation when I recently came across the 2008 English version. This book is a must read for all Lutheran ministers and theologians. Dr. Thomas H. Trapp (Professor of Theology at Concordia University, St. Paul) did an excellent job translating the book into quite readable English. Bayer presents Luther's systematic theology in a classical sense while accounting for the unique situation of the twenty-first century church. One scholar summarized the work as a "conversation with Luther" whereby we read his theology on matters we share in common in the contemporary church with the church of the Reformation. I highly recommend this book to you; it will enhance your ministry and understanding of the Wittenberg reformer's teachings.
Summary of Martin Luther's Theology: A Contemporary Interpretation
Forty years of in-depth research on Martin Luthers theology has left Oswald Bayer uniquely qualified to present this comprehensive study. He does so with clarity and care, simply enough for nontheologians to access. This remarkable book offers the basics of Luthers understanding of theology, discussing his response to the philosophy of science tradition, the formula by which he studied theology, and the basic philosophy that informed him. Bayer then takes Luthers stance on Christian dogmatics and ethics and applies it to our own theological understanding in the modern age. With such a complete Lutheran dogmatic concept a the first of its kind offered a the stunning inner consistency of Luthers theology and its ease of application to contemporary studies become unmistakably clear. Martin Luthers Theology is a valuable tool for students and teachers of theology and for those looking for a guide into the mind and heart of Luther a a theologian for today.Church History Books
