Aus Glauben gerecht: Weltweite Wirkung und okumenische Rezeption der reformatorischen Rechtfertigungslehre

In the run-up to the Reformation Jubilee of 2017, this collection of seven papers presented at a conference on Justification by Faith (November 12-14, 2015, Elstal Theological Seminary) explores the chief doctrine of the Reformation in an ecumenical context. Topics include the 'New Perspective on Paul'; Luther's exegesis of Paul; Puritan and Revivalist transformations of the doctrine of justification by faith into an experiential conversion piety; grace and redemption in Afro-American spirituality; proclaiming justification by faith to people of today: scholars from various denominational backgrounds contribute to an up-to date overview from exegetical, historical and theological perspectives, spanning from New Testament foundations to contemporary religious practice worldwide.
