Lutheran Identiy: Cultural Imprint and Reformation Heritage (Die Lutherische Kirche, Geschichte und Gestalten, Band 33

German edition of Volume 32 – Lutherische Kirche. Geschichte und GestaltenLutheranism has spread throughout the world in various ways. As a result, it has become at home in very different cultural contexts. But can there be a “Lutheran identity”? Or are there not rather “Lutheran identities,” depending on the character? And what connects them, how does one live in a communion that makes possible numerous expressions of “Lutheran identity,” and where are the challenges of this togetherness?In its struggle for communion that is to be a living church community, the Lutheran World Federation faces these very questions. Reason enough to look for identity markers, for pillars of a common Lutheran identity that have relevance for history, the present and different cultural contexts, linking theology and history.englischsprachige Ausgabe von Band 32Verbindende Elemente im globalen Luthertum identifizierenEin wichtiger Band im Kontext einer weltumspannenden DebatteDie Einheit des Luthertum im Kontext kultureller Vielfalt
