“Luther and the Word”
At the heart of the Reformation’s theological witness was the active, living, effective Word of God. We will explore how Luther’s understanding of the Word shaped his understanding of God’s way of being in the world. We will examine how this commitment was manifest in Luther’s work as translator, interpreter, and proclaimer of the Word. We will ask about the role of God’s Word in the continuing work of reformation to which we ourselves are called.
