Martin Luther - Biographie Und Theologie Synopsis

English summary: There are few historical figures in church history whose biographies are so closely linked to their theologies as they are with Martin Luther. Contrary to research at the beginning of the 20th century, recent Luther biographies have tended to loosen the connection between his biography and his theology. Thus the relationship between Luther's life and work has to be reconceptualized to combine specifically historical and theological approaches. In this volume, leading scholars of the older and the younger generation of Luther research join forces to explore the different views of the reformer in order to establish a more precise picture of this connection.

German description: Der vorliegende Band nimmt entscheidende Stationen der Biographie Luthers jeweils aus zwei unterschiedlichen Perspektiven in den Blick: der historischen und der theologischen. Dabei ergeben sich interessante Schnittmengen, die zu einer weiteren und sachgerechten Behandlung des Verhaltnisses von Lebensgeschichte und Glaubenseinsicht veranlassen.
"Insgesamt liegt mit dem Band [...] eine beachtliche Sammlung von luziden Aufsatzen namhafter Autoren vor. Sein besonderer Reiz liegt jedoch in der ausgefallenen Konzeption, die deutlich macht, dass die neu ins Gesprach gekommene Luther-Forschung ihren Reiz und ihre Berechtigung keineswegs eingebusst hat."
Carsten Brall in Theologische Beitrage 45 (2014), S. 66-67
