<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"This textbook explores the Lutheran theological tradition. Kirsi Stjerna looks at Lutheran sources, vocabulary and focal points through the lens of the Augsburg Confession and the Large Catechism, developing a distinctive Lutheran faith language that resonates with contemporary contexts and inquirers. Lutheran Theology gives readers the tools they need to understand Lutheran perspectives in the light of historical sources, to see the underlying motivations of past theological discourses and to apply this knowledge to current debates. Introducing the Book of Concord and Martin Luther's freedom theology, it shows them how to engage critically and constructively with key topics in theology and spirituality, such as freedom and confession. Stjerna pays particular attention to the contribution of women theologians, and empowers students to bring Lutheran theology in conversation with other faith languages and traditions. This textbook includes an extensive range of pedagogical features: - Sample quizzes and tests with questions tested by classroom use - A discussion guide for each chapter - Chapter-specific learning objectives - Key terms in bold, boxed text sections that identify central figures and points of debate, study questions, chapter summaries and a glossary"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This textbook explores the Lutheran theological tradition.
