Walter Altmannsberger Books

Luther and Liberation recovers the liberating and revolutionary impact of Luthers theology, read afresh from the perspective of the Latin American context. The work examines with fresh vigor Luthers central theological commitments, such as his doctrine of God, Christology, justification, hermeneutics, and ecclesiology, and his forays into economics, politics, education, violence, and war. This new edition greatly expands the original text with fresh scholarship and contains several new chapters on Luthers doctrine of God, the sacraments, his controversial perspective on Judaism, and a comparative account of Latin American liberation theology.
