| Summary: | This dictionary is an outstanding scholarly achievement by 182 experts in their fields. Scholars, pastors and lay-people interested in the common heritage of the Reformation will benefit from 600 easily accessible entries. The historical development of the Lutheran Reformation is addressed under rubrics such as 'Augustinianism', 'Ninety-Five Theses', 'Luther's Breakthrough' and 'Peace of Augsburg'. A number of entries explore the impact of the Lutheran movement in sixteenth-century Europe and contain compressed entries on central historical and theological themes such as 'Pietism', 'Theology of the Cross', 'Twofold Righteousness' and 'Calvinism as a Second Reformation', but also critical accounts of such topics as 'Race/Minorities', 'Refugees' and 'Migration'. There is balanced criticism of the so-called New Perspective on Paul, and good material on Lutheran mission and evangelism. Throughout the volume, the reader encounters edifying traits interwoven into the scholarly presentation. This dictionary is a real gem. (English) |
