Beskrivning

This book analyzes Luther’s treatise On Christian Freedom and its revolutionary re-definition of what it means to be Christian as one freed by Christ from sin, the accusation of God’s law, and death in order to be bound or bonded to the neighbor. Robert Kolb puts the treatise in its historical context, tracing its key ideas as they developed out of his medieval background, and as they continued to mature throughout his life. A contextual analysis of the text accompanies an overview of how this treatise was used or ignored throughout subsequent centuries, including the more extensive impact it has had in the last half century.

Recensioner i media

Refreshingly abandoning the twentieth-century quest for the ‘moment’ of Luther’s ‘breakthrough,’ Robert Kolb explores the ‘evangelical maturation’ of an actual human being, rooted in history, searching for the favor of a holy God. As a result of the gospel: A lord of all and servant of all? Luther’s ‘On Christian Freedom’ has been rarely understood from within the Reformer’s own categories and experience. Anyone who thinks that Luther has nothing practical to say about the Christian life must read this informative and pleasurable work.
