Présentation de l'éditeur

Lutheran theology found its source, and so its name in Martin Luther in the 16th century. The theology that emerged identified two essential matters for the relationship between humans and God, the law and the gospel. It made a simple but extremely unusual and controversial claimGÇöthat it was not the law that made a person right before God's final judgment, but the gospel of Christ's death on the cross for sinners. The book will lay out the implications of having all theology, and so all that can be said of God, humans and creation confessed and delivered in two parts: I, the sinner; and God, the justifier.
