Martin Luther und die Reformation sind Teil des öffentlichen Geschichtsbewusstseins Deutschlands, Europas und des „Westens" generell. Bei der Betrachtung von Person und Werk des Reformators vollzieht der Band eine radikale Historisierung in doppelter Hinsicht: Zum einen stellt er das Fremde des Reformationsjahrhunderts und die im Vergleich zu heute anderen Bedingungen des Denkens und Handelns Luthers und seiner Zeitgenossen heraus. Zum anderen versucht er eine 500jährige Rezeptionsgeschichte in archäologischen Schichten abzutragen, um zu Luther vorzustoßen, aber auch um die weltgeschichtlichen Auswirkungen zu verstehen. Das soll dazu beitragen, die öffentliche Diskussion über die Reformation und deren Folgen auf eine geschichtswissenschaftliche Grundlage zu stellen.Mit Beiträgen von P. Blickle, Th. Brady, S. Karant-Nunn, Th. Kaufmann, N. Krentz, V. Leppin, W. Reinhard, St. Rhein, H. Schilling, G. Schmidt, S. Seidel Menchi, N. Slenczka, R. Slenczka, G. R. Tewes, D. Wendebourg, E. Wolgast

History has assigned Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., his rightful place as a hero of the Civil Rights Movement, but what does it mean to be a hero ahead of one’s own time? This exploration of the life of Dr. King compiles The New York Times’ coverage of King’s rise as a leader and activist and the hurdles he encountered along the way, including great resistance to his cause and his eventual assassination. In addition to coverage from his lifetime, also included are retrospectives that put the work of Dr. King in conversation with contemporary social justice efforts and reflect on just how far we have, and have not, come as a society.

Free Download David Lawrence Coe, "Kierkegaard and Luther"
English | ISBN: 1978710836 | 2020 | 274 pages | EPUB, PDF | 686 KB + 4 MB
Søren Kierkegaard denounced nineteenth-century Danish Lutheranism for exploiting Martin Luther’s doctrine of justification "without works" as justification for an antinomian easy life. Kierkegaard saw his own writing as a corrective: "I have wanted to prevent people in ‘Christendom’ from existentially taking in vain Luther and the significance of Luther’s life." In 1847, Kierkegaard began an eight-year reading of Luther’s sermons, forking through them for extracts to confirm his theological corrective rather than to comprehend the breadth of Luther’s thought. While he found much to laud, Kierkegaard also found much to lance, privately commenting that Luther was partially responsible for what he considered the problematic Lutheranism of his own day. Furthermore, David Coe argues, Kierkegaard was unaware that his copy of Luther’s church and house postils was a heavily abridged edition of extracts from those postils. Therefore, his appraisal of Luther begs to be investigated. Kierkegaard and Luther examines the Luther sermons Kierkegaard read, what he praised and criticized, missed, and misjudged of Luther, and spotlights the concord these two Lutheran giants actually shared, namely, the negative yet necessary role that Christian suffering (Anfechtung/Anfægtelse) plays in Christian faith and life.

Free Download Allen G. Jorgenson, "The Crux of Theology: Luther’s Teachings and Our Work for Freedom, Justice, and Peace"
English | ISBN: 1978712510 | 2022 | 222 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 2 MB
The title of this book plays upon the central place a theology of the cross holds in Lutheran theologies, especially lucid in Luther’s Heidelberg Disputation (1518). The 500th anniversary of this document coincided with the 70th anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations wherein the preamble points to a global aspiration of a common good shaped by freedom, justice and peace. This book is located at the intersection of these two themes, asserting that the cross has material content in being the means by which Christ in suffering solidarity with individuals, communities, and the cosmos advances freedom, justice, and peace. Employing a variety of methods, and exploring a broad range of geographic locales, the contributors illumine the misuse of Reformation themes and offer a corrective in service of a common good that is publicly accountable and theologically sound. The book thereby explores how contemporary Lutheran theology has utility both for analyzing injustice and for advancing justice in local as well as global contexts.
