Free Download Kirsi Stjerna, "On the Apocalyptic and Human Agency: Conversations with Augustine of Hippo and Martin Luther"
English | ISBN: 144386627X | 2014 | 135 pages | PDF | 2 MB
There is little doubt about the fundamental importance of both Augustine of Hippo and Martin Luther for western theology and anthropology. Both continue to invite critical debate on a host of issues that persist in their contemporary relevance, such as questions about human identity and destiny. This engaging volume brings together a group of scholars pursuing new directions in Lutheran and Augustinian scholarship on these issues. The first section on "Luther and the Apocalyptic" highlights Luther's deep groundedness in the this-worldly dimensions of his apocalyptic thinking. The authors in this section demonstrate how Luther's apocalyptic worldview leads back to earth, to living and dead bodies, to contemporary political realities, to glimpses of hope amid tumult. The authors utilize dimensions of Luther's apocalyptic sensibility to better envision how God's promised future impacts the present. The second section on "Augustine and Luther on Human Agency" examines Augustine's understanding of the human self, its sovereignty and its fragility, its agency and its confines. The authors in this section explore how the Augustinian monk turned Reformer of the Church, Martin Luther, used and "evangelized" Augustine's understanding of the self. The authors invite readers to explore 20th and 21st century appropriations of these ideas in order to pursue these questions and their implications more deeply for themselves.
