Lutherjahrbuch 87. Jahrgang 2020: Organ der internationalen Lutherforschung

The 87th year of the Luther Yearbook brings together nine substantial articles, which on the one hand recall the historical events and theological findings a good 500 years ago, and on the other hand offer an overview of the research literature in the context of the Reformation anniversary in 2017. For example, Luther’s ‘Nebenschriften’ from 1520, the local background to Luther’s stay in the Wartburg in 1521/22, the Adam-Christ juxtaposition from Rome 5: 12-21 and Luther’s understanding of the church are discussed, but also a critical consideration of the German-language representations of the Reformation and a report on Australian Luther research is required. In addition, studies on the Reform Catholic Cardinal Girolamo Seripando, Countess Dorothea von Mansfeld-Vorderort and the Eisleben Luther houses as places of remembrance in the Soviet Zone and the GDR provide substantial insights into the history of the Reformation and memorials.
