"Since 1970 the annual Luther colloquy at Gettysburg Seminary has
provided a unique forum for discussing Martin Luther's theology and
its value for contemporary thought. These essays, based on
presentations at the colloquies by a notable array of scholars,
enable a larger audience to benefit from a rich sample of Luther's
depth and relevance."
--Scott H. Hendrix, Professor Emeritus of Reformation History and
Theology, Princeton Theological Seminary
"As we approach the Luther quincentenary in 2017, scholars will be
hoping for more substantive engagements with the thought of Martin
Luther than such commemorations sometimes yield. This volume will
meet or exceed our hopes. It brings together the most creative and
thoughtful Luther scholars of the present age, theologians,
biblical scholars, historians, and ethicists: this is just the kind
of team needed to do justice to Luther's enormous and complex
legacy."
--Euan K. Cameron, Henry Luce III Professor of Reformation Church
History, Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York
"The claims in these pages are as bold for our context as Luther's
claims were for his. If you are curious about the relationship
between Lutheranism and a public church, read this book and
encounter Luther anew. Many of these chapters will be required
reading in my Preaching Public Issues course."
--Shauna K. Hannan, Associate Professor of Homiletics, Pacific
Lutheran Theological Seminary; Core Doctoral Faculty, Graduate
Theological Union
"This collection of essays is intended to provoke further thought
and research on Luther and Luther's ongoing legacy. It succeeds by
assembling an international and ecumenical group of highly
accomplished scholars who address a broad spectrum of topics with
an eclectic variety of approaches, some traditional, others
unexpected, but all engaging. Anyone interested in Luther will find
in this book a deeply stimulating resource and a compelling case
for the Reformer's contemporary significance."
--Kenneth G. Appold, James Hastings Nichols Professor of
Reformation History, Princeton Theological Seminary
"When helping readers encounter Luther, the voices assembled in
this provocative volume sometimes counter him, and other times
count on him. Luther appears here as one who cannot be discounted
in the search for theological and ecumenical insight for the next
decades of church life."
--Derek R. Nelson, Associate Professor of Religion, Wabash College
