| Résumé : |
In this classic study, Karl Holl, often called the father of the Luther-Renaissance of the 20th century, argues that Luther not only reformed church and religion, but morality and ethics as well.
Tracing the development of Luther’s ethical thought from his pre-Reformation writings to its later, definitive form, Holl emphasizes Luther’s insight that God’s law of love, appropriated through faith, in justification, provides a basis for both a personal and social ethic. It gives rise to a community—the kingdom of God—that overcomes both selfish individualism and uncritical conformity, leading to selfless service on the part of individuals and the ongoing reform of society. Students and pastors of all denominations will find this careful study of Luther’s ethic an illuminating resource. |
