Simul

Inquiries into Luther's Experience of the Christian Life. Edited by Robert Kolb, Torbjörn Johansson and Daniel Johansson.

The concept of simul grasps the essence of Luther’s theology, at the same time as it broadens the perspective and goes beyond the traditional solas. 13 essays by Oswald Bayer, Erik H. Herrmann, Robert A. Kolb, Roland Ziegler, Mark Mattes, Timothy J. Wengert, Jakob Valdemar Olsen, Harald Jung, Bernd Wannenwetsch, Tim Saleska, Daniel Johansson, Timo Laato and Torbjörn Johansson. The book in divided into four chapters: Introduction; Luther; The Lutheran Tradition; Exegetical perspectives. - This volume introduces an important concept which hitherto has not gotten the recognition it deserves. The concept simul, the idea of a both-and in theology, is primarily associated with the Lutheran understanding of justification. The formula simul iustus et peccator is a shorthand for the nucleus and heart of the Reformation. But the concept, which implies a tension or even a paradox, appears to play a significant role in other areas of theological reflection. This volume highlights a number of areas in which this idea historically has played an important role, as well as its potential in the contemporary conversation. The aim of the work is to provide an informed and readable introduction to the simul concept in various areas of systematical theology and Biblical exegesis. 270 Seiten, gebunden (Refo500 Academic Studies - R5AS; Vol. 80/Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 2021) Mängelexemplar: ungelesen, leichte Lagerspuren, leicht bestoßen, untere Rückenkante leicht beschädigt, Mängelexemplarstempel auf Fußschnitt/unused, defective copy
