About this Book

It may come as a surprise to some, but Martin Luther never wrote a "theology." He delivered his theological thought in myriad ways - lectures, preaching notes, arguments, fables, hymns, and more - but never penned a systematic theology. Having scoured Luther's voluminous corpus, Oswald Bayer here reimages Luther's theology and its validity for today. The fruit of Bayer's lifelong engagement with the Reformer, Martin Luther's Theology: A Contemporary Interpretation will serve as the best comprehensive introduction to Luther's thought for a long time.
