Theology

“Volker Leppin's careful scholarship on Luther's theology is full of historical insight and ecumenical promise, but until now it has largely been available only to German readers. Thankfully, with Sola, Leppin's nuanced approach to Luther's thought is introduced to the broader English-speaking world. The Luther that emerges from Leppin's attentive analysis is one deeply embedded in the mystical-monastic theology of his late-medieval context. As such, his thought develops and maintains these broader continuities even as it transforms them into a potent evangelical theology. A welcome and necessary work for all serious students of the Reformation.”
