Living By Faith - Justification and Sanctification (Paperback): Oswald Bayer Living By Faith - Justification and Sanctification (Paperback)
Oswald Bayer
R803 Discovery Miles 8 030 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"Living by faith" is much more than a general Christian precept; it is the fundamental posture of believers in a world rife with suffering and injustice. In this penetrating reflection on the meaning of "justification," Oswald Bayer shows how this key religious term provides a comprehensive horizon for discussing every aspect of Christian theology, from creation to the end times. Inspired by and interacting with Martin Luther, the great Christian thinker who grappled most intensely with the concept of justification, Bayer explores anew the full range of traditional dogmatics (sin, redemption, eschatology, and others), placing otherwise complex theological terms squarely within their proper milieu -- everyday life. In the course of his discussion, Bayer touches on such deep questions as the hidden nature of God, the hope for universal justice, the problem of evil, and -- one of the book's most engaging motifs -- Job's daring lawsuit with God.

Freedom in Response - Lutheran Ethics: Sources and Controversies (Hardcover): Oswald Bayer Freedom in Response - Lutheran Ethics: Sources and Controversies (Hardcover)
Oswald Bayer; Translated by Jeff Cayzer
R4,744 Discovery Miles 47 440 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The leitmotif of Freedom in Response, as the title suggests, is a reasoned exposition of the nature of freedom, as it is presented in the Bible and developed by such later theologians as Martin Luther. Oswald Bayer considers Luther's teachings on pastoral care, marriage, and the three estates, bringing in Kant and Hegel as conversation partners, together with Kant's friend and critic, the innovative theologian and philosopher Johann Georg Hamann.
Oswald Bayer is a major contemporary Lutheran theologian, but so far little of his work has been translated from German into English. This selection of essays indicates the depth and range of his thought on issues relating to theological ethics.

Luthers Neufassung der Christologie als deren Zuspitzung auf die Lehre von der Idiomenkommunikation wird in diesem Sammelband in ihren historischen wie systematischen Dimensionen ausgelotet: Historisch stehen neben traditionsgeschichtlicher Hintergrundsanalyse breite rezeptionsgeschichtliche Untersuchungen zur Spatreformation und Orthodoxie, systematisch wird nicht nur die zugrunde liegende Metapherntheorie, sondern auch die Tragfahigkeit der Gesamtkonzeption thematisiert.

Martin Luthers Theologie - Eine Vergegenwärtigung (Paperback, 4., durchgesehene Auflage): Oswald Bayer Martin Luthers Theologie - Eine Vergegenwärtigung (Paperback, 4., durchgesehene Auflage)
Oswald Bayer
R838 Discovery Miles 8 380 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

"[Das] Buch Bayers stellt im besten Sinne eine Vergegenwärtigung der Theologie Luthers dar, die man auch im Blick auf die sprachliche Gestaltung sehr gern liest. Die Darstellung fasst - das ist die Eigenart dieses literarischen Genus - die Theologie Luthers ebenso zusammen wie die daran gebildete des Verfassers, die eben bei Luther das hört und dazu anleitet, das zu hören, was menschliches Leben begründet und befreit: die promissio. Es leitet dazu an, bereits gemachte Leseerfahrungen mit Luthers Texten unter Perspektiven zu bündeln und es erschließt sein Werk so, dass der Leser und die Leserin Lust bekommt zur eigenen Lektüre und zur eigenen Erfahrung mit diesem existenzerschließenden Werk Luthers." Notger Slenczka in zeitzeichen 1/2004, S. 64ff. "Insgesamt ein spannendes wie erhellendes Leseerlebnis und dies sicher auch für Nicht-Theologen." Marcus Meier auf http://literaturkritik.de/public/rezension.php?rez_id=7356 "Die Lektüre von 'Martin Luthers Theologie' wirkt anregend, besonders durch Bayers gekonnte Auswahl von Originaltexten Luthers, die er kommentiert, ja geradezu meditiert. Er zeigt: Luther ist ein theologischer Klassiker von allerhöchster Aktualität und - zumindest im Dialog mit der römisch-katholischen Kirche der Gegenwart - von größter ökumenischer Reichweite und Bedeutung." Annemarie C. Mayer in Theologische Quartalschrift 186, 2006, S. 70f. "Oswald Bayer gelingt es in gewohnter Weise, gewichtige theologische Themen so vorzustellen, daß der Leser neugierig wird, tiefer zu graben und weiter zu forschen. Es ist sein Verdienst, mit diesem Werk die Bedeutung der Theologie Luthers für unsere Gegenwart stilistisch glänzend und für alle theologisch interessierten Christen gut lesbar erschlossen zu haben, nicht ohne hier und da auch zu markieren, wo die Grenzen solcher Gegenwartsbedeutung Luthers liegen." Armin Wenz in Lutherische Beiträge 10 (2005), S. 253-255

A Contemporary in Dissent - Johann Georg Hamann as a Radical Enlightener (Paperback): Oswald Bayer A Contemporary in Dissent - Johann Georg Hamann as a Radical Enlightener (Paperback)
Oswald Bayer; Translated by Roy A. Harrisville, Mark C Mattes
R651 R585 Discovery Miles 5 850 Save R66 (10%) Ships in 18 - 22 working days

In this biography -- translated for the first time into English -- German theologian Oswald Bayer describes the life and work of journalist-theologian Johann Georg Hamann (1730 1788). At a time when it seemed that the forces of secularization were attempting to claim the future, Hamann churned out small publications aimed at undermining the Enlightenment zeitgeist, turning its assumptions upside down and skewering its pretensions. Although largely forgotten until recent times, Hamann as radical dissenter -- whom Goethe called the "brightest man of his age" -- remains relevant today, as Bayer shows in this book.

Martin Luther's Theology - A Contemporary Interpretation (Paperback): Oswald Bayer Martin Luther's Theology - A Contemporary Interpretation (Paperback)
Oswald Bayer; Translated by Thomas H. Trapp
R903 R782 Discovery Miles 7 820 Save R121 (13%) Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Forty years of in-depth research on Martin Luther's theology has left Oswald Bayer uniquely qualified to present this comprehensive study. He does so with clarity and care, simply enough for nontheologians to access.

This remarkable book offers the basics of Luther's understanding of theology, discussing his response to the "philosophy of science" tradition, the formula by which he studied theology, and the basic philosophy that informed him. Bayer then takes Luther's stance on Christian dogmatics and ethics and applies it to our own theological understanding in the modern age. With such a complete Lutheran dogmatic concept -- the first of its kind offered -- the stunning inner consistency of Luther's theology and its ease of application to contemporary studies become unmistakably clear.

"Martin Luther's Theology" is a valuable tool for students and teachers of theology and for those looking for a guide into the mind and heart of Luther -- a theologian for today.
