This book introduces the English-speaking world to the new Finnish
interpretation of the theology of Martin Luther, initiated by the
writings of Tuomo Mannermaa of Helsinki University. At the heart of
the Finnish breakthrough in Luther research lies the theme of
salvation. Luther found his answer to the mystery of salvation in
the justifying work of Christ received through faith alone. But
Protestant theology has never enjoyed a consensus on how to
interpret the Reformation doctrine of justification by faith. In
opposition to the traditional forensic understanding of
justification, Mannermaa argues that for Luther "Christ is really
present in faith itself." Mannermaa's interpretation of Luther's
view of justification is thus more ontological and mystical than
ethical and juridical. As such, his work challenges a century of
scholarly opinion concerning a foundational doctrine of Protestant
theology.
