M.M. Thomas was one of the chief architects of the modern
ecumenical movement. An outstanding theologian, his original and
rather unconventional explorations into ecumenical social ethics
remain highly relevant even today. Long before liberation theology
burst on the scene, Thomas raised his prophetic voice for the
liberation of humanity from the dehumanizing structures. Focusing
on the theological and social contributions of M.M. Thomas and his
legacy for our times, and published with the support of the Council
for World Mission to coincide with the centenary of Thomas' birth,
this collection brings together an international panel of
distinguished scholars, theologians and church leaders.

Philip Melanchthon (1497-1560), humanist and colleague of Martin
Luther, is best known for his educational reforms, for which he
earned the title Praeceptor Germaniae (the Teacher of Germany). His
most influential form of philosophical writing was the academic
oration, and this volume, first published in 1999, presents a large
and wide-ranging selection of his orations and textbook prefaces
translated into English. They set out his views on the distinction
between faith and reason, the role of philosophy in education,
moral philosophy, natural philosophy, astronomy and astrology, and
the importance of philosophy to a true Christian, as well as his
views on Classical philosophical authorities such as Plato and
Aristotle and on contemporaries such as Erasmus and Luther.
Powerfully influential in their time, inspiring many Protestant
students to study philosophy, mathematics and natural philosophy,
they illuminate the relationship between Renaissance and
Reformation thought.

Contributors to this book analyze areas of Martin Luther’s and
Lutheran theology that have otherwise been neglected or
under-represented in the five hundred years since the Reformation.
They widen the scope of Luther and Lutheran theology by viewing
both from the perspectives of the “subaltern,” those whose
voices are barely or rarely heard. The book formulates an inclusive
Lutheran theology that reaches out but does not close out. The
book’s sections address “Precarious Life,” from Luther’s
own precarious existence as an outlaw under a death sentence;
“Body and Gender,” addressing different aspects of gender and
sexuality; “Women and Sexual Abuse,” focusing on Luther’s
exegesis of biblical “texts of terror”; and “Economy,
Equality, and Equity,” addressing Lutheran views on economy and
equality that break new ground regarding common goods and the
Anthropocene.
