This encyclopedia is a collaboration of the leading scholars in the field of Reformation research and the thought, life, and legacy of influence - for good and for ill - of Martin Luther. In 2017 the world marks 500 years since the beginning of the public work of Luther, whose protest against corrupt practices and the way theology was taught captured Europe's attention from 1517 onward. Comprising 125 extensive articles in three volumes, the Oxford Encyclopedia
of Martin Luther examines:- the contexts that shaped his social and intellectual world, such as previous theological and institutional developments - the genres in which
he worked, including some he essentially created- the theological and ethical writings that make up the lion's share of his massive intellectual output- the complicated and contested history of his reception across the globe and across a span of disciplinesThis indispensable work seeks both to answer perennial questions as well as to raise new ones. Intentionally forward-looking in approach, the ORE of Martin Luther provides a reliable survey
to such issues as, for instance, how did Luther understand God? What did he mean by his notion of "vocation?" How did he make use of, but also transform, medieval thought patterns and traditions? How did
Luther and the Reformation re-shape Europe and launch modernity? What were his thoughts about Islam and Judaism, and how did the history of the effects of those writings unfold? Scholars from a variety of disciplines - economic history, systematic theology, gender and cultural studies, philosophy, and many more - propose an agenda for examining future research questions prompted by the harvest of decades of intense historical scrutiny and theological inquiry.

Derek R. Nelson is Professor of Religion and Stephen S. Bowen
Professor of Liberal Arts at Wabash College. He is the co-author of
Resilient Reformer: The Life and Thought of Martin Luther
(Fortress, 2015) and the author or editor of eight other books in
the history of theology.
Paul R. Hinlicky is Tise Professor of Lutheran Studies at Roanoke
College. He is the author of many books in systematic and
historical theology, including Beloved Community: Critical
Dogmatics after Christendom (Eerdmans, 2015).
"Derek Nelson and Paul Hinlicky have assembled a diverse and able
group of scholars to produce the standard reference work on the
life and thought of Martin Luther. Whether someone reads one
sarticle at a time, or reads the cluster of articles pertaining to
one of the four topical categories, this work will surely incite
them to ask new, critical questions of Luther and how his thought
has been historically received [T]his encyclopedia should be found
in
colleges, graduate schools, and seminaries where Luther is
studied."--Bradley M. Penner, Reading Religion
