Description

This textbook explores the Lutheran theological tradition. Kirsi Stjerna looks at Lutheran sources, vocabulary and focal points through the lens of the Augsburg Confession and the Large Catechism, developing a distinctive Lutheran faith language that resonates with contemporary contexts and inquirers.

Lutheran Theology gives students the tools they need to understand Lutheran perspectives in the light of historical sources, to see the underlying motivations of past theological discourses and to apply this knowledge to current debates. Introducing the Book of Concord and Martin Luther’s freedom theology, it shows them how to engage critically and constructively with key topics in theology and spirituality, such as freedom and confession. Stjerna pays particular attention to the contribution of women theologians and empowers students to bring Lutheran theology into conversation with other faith languages and traditions.

This textbook includes an extensive range of pedagogical features:

A discussion guide for each chapter
Chapter-specific learning objectives
Key terms in bold, boxed text sections that identify points of debate, discussion of central topics, study questions and a glossary
