¿Sigue importando la Reforma?
En 1517, un monje alemán clavó un cartel a la puerta de una iglesia, en el que se impugnaban las doctrinas prioritarias que enseñaba la iglesia católico romana en aquellos días. Ese momento inició un movimiento que cambió toda la trayectoria de la historia de la iglesia. Pero, ¿tienen aún los reformadores algo que enseñarnos?
En este accesible manual básico, Tim Chester y Michael Reeves responden...

We hear from the Apostle Peter that Christians should always be ready to give a confession of the hope that is in them and to defend their faith in an ever-changing world.
Originally delivered as an address at a synod convention in 1902, Das Wesen des Christentums or What is Christianity? was written by pastor and professor Francis Pieper.
In What is Christianity: Faith and Morality Reconsidered, Pieper takes up Peter's task against those who would...

When on October 31, 1517 an unknown monk nailed a theological pamphlet to the church door in a small university town, he set in motion a process that helped usher in the modern world. Within a few years Luther's ideas had spread like wildfire. His attempts to reform Christianity by returning it to its biblical roots split the Western Church, divided Europe and polarised people's beliefs, leading to religious persecution, social unrest and war; and...

The place and significance of Martin Luther in the long history of Christian anti-Jewish polemic has been and continues to be a contested issue. The literature on the subject is substantial, and diverse. While efforts to exonerate Luther as "merely" a man of his times who "merely" perpetuated what he had received from his cultural and theological tradition have rightly been jettisoned, there still persists even among the educated public the perception...

Will the real Martin Luther please stand up? After five hundred years of examining the life of the 'father of the Reformation,' we must surely know all there is to know about Martin Luther. But is that true? Did he really nail his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door? Did he throw an inkpot at the devil? Did he plant an apple tree? Did his wife escape her convent in a herring barrel? German radio and television journalist Andreas Malessa looks at...

The Theology of the Cross is one of the core elements of Martin Luther's theology. The development of this doctrine through the Heidelberg Disputation has been considered an essential element of Luther's breakthrough on justification, and crucial to his theological reforms and future split with the Roman Catholic Church.
These statements by Luther, originally penned to be defended in debate, are counter-intuitive, contrary, offensive, and thrilling...

Faith Alone, written in 1943, is a prequel to Bo Giertz's better-known novel, The Hammer of God.
This is Bo Giertz's masterpiece-written with the doctrinal clarity and purpose of G.K. Chesterton and C.S. Lewis, the historical acumen of Bernard Cornwell, and the psychological insight of Kafka. The result is a Scandinavian Noir that cuts open the soul and lays it at the foot of the cross.
The novel begins in 1540 and ends in 1543, during which time...

How shall we live? What is the good life? What is the value of a person? What is my place in this world? Is God active in this world? These are questions that have been asked in every culture and in every era.

"In a world ruled by the church, all it took was one little nail, one well-written scroll, and one sharp-tongued monk to turn everything upside-down. Martin Luther didn't mean to spark the Reformation with his 95 Theses, but his realization that salvation comes through faith and not works ignited the revolution that changed the world. As Pope Leo X hounds and fights him at every turn, will Luther have the courage to stand strong-even to death?"--from...

Numerous conflicting and inadequate answers (e. g., Bultmannian existentialism, the post Bultmannian "New Hermeneutic") hold the field today these have in common a basic misunderstanding as to the relation of theological theologizing to theory construction in other fields of knowledge, and a fundamental misconception in regard to the proper way of confirming or disconfirming theological judgments. In this essay, a detailed...

"This book probes the beating theological heart of Luther's evangelical theology." - Michael J. Chan, Ph.D., Concordia College
In his Galatians commentary of 1535, Martin Luther insists that"our theology" relies on the proper distinction of two kinds of righteousness: Alien and Proper. In relation to our Creator, we freely receive our"alien" righteousness from Christ who has obtained it for us through his death and resurrection. In relation...

You many think you know everything you need to know about the historical figure "Jesus Christ", but every cherished belief you have is false. Jesus Christ is a fraud. For a start, his name wasn't Jesus Christ but Yehoshua ben Yosef. And, just as his name is a fiction designed to disguise the truth, so is everything else about him. We will demonstrate the following: 1) The central promise of Christianity – the resurrection of the dead – is utterly...

The development of Martin Luther's thought has commanded much scholarly attention because of the Reformation and its remarkable effects on the history of Christianity in the West. But, much of that scholarship has been, so enthralled by certain later debates that it has practically ignored and even distorted the context in and against which Luther's thought developed. In The Early Luther Berndt Hamm, armed with expertise both in late, medieval intellectual...
