Wittenberg Meets the World: Reimagining the Reformation at the Margins - Softcover

"How are we to read and interpret the Protestant Reformation as we come to its fifth centennial? This book is necessary reading for any who attempt to answer that question. Its wide vistas of the meaning of the Reformation for the 21st century will challenge many preconceived notions and open new venues for thought." - Justo L. Gonzalez

Proposes creative implications of the 500-year Reformation tradition for today. As the global church assesses the legacy of the Lutheran Reformation, Alberto Garcia and John Nunes in this book reimagine central Reformational themes from black, Hispanic, and other perspectives traditionally at the margins of catholic-evangelical communities. Focusing on the central theme of justification, Garcia and Nunes delve into three interlinked aspects of the church's life in the world-martyria (witness), diakonia (service), and koinonia (fellowship). They argue that it is critically important and vitally enriching for the whole church, especially Eurocentric Protestant churches, to learn from the grassroots theological emphases of Christian communities in the emerging world.
