Description

This book about Luther’s theology is written out of a two-fold conviction. First, that many of our problems have arisen because we have not actually understood our own traditions, especially in terms of Luther; and second, that there is still numerous help for us in someone like Luther if we take the trouble to probe beneath the surface. It is an attempt to interpret Luther’s theology for our own day. The fundamental theme of the book is the “down-to-earth” character of Luther’s theology. In the use of this theme, Forde points out that we have failed to have in mind the basic thrust or direction of Luther’s theology and that this failure has caused and is still causing us grief. Modern scholarship has demonstrated that Luther simply did not share the views on the nature of faith and salvation that subsequent generations have foisted upon him and used to interpret his thinking. This book attempts to bring the result of some of that scholarship to light and make it more accessible to those who find themselves in search of answers today. The central questions of Christianity are examined in this fresh restatement of Luther’s thought—the God-man relationship, the cross, the sacraments, this world and the next, and the role of the church. The creator presents the “down-to-earth” character of Luther’s theology in the hope that it’ll help individual Christians today to be both faithful to God and true to their human and social responsibilities.
