{"title":"Maarten Luther: geschriften van de Reformatie en tafelgesprekken","description":"\u003cp\u003eMaarten Luther schreef om de Schrift uit te leggen, zijn overtuigingen uiteen te zetten en leerstellingen te bestrijden waar hij zich tegen verzette. Deze verzameling brengt een leerstellige verklaring, een bijbelcommentaar en fragmenten uit opgetekende gesprekken samen. Elk werk biedt een eigen ingang tot de religieuze vragen van de protestantse Reformatie in het 16e-eeuwse Duitsland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eDe Schmalkaldische Artikelen\u003c\/b\u003e zetten Luthers standpunten over centrale kwesties van de christelijke leer uiteen.

De fragmenten plaatsen bespiegelingen over religie naast de informelere uitwisseling van gesprekken.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSamen gelezen laten deze werken zien hoe Luthers aandacht beweegt tussen een geloofsbelijdenis, een interpretatie van de Schrift en een gesprek. Rechtvaardiging door het geloof is een centrale rode draad. Ook de vraag hoe de christelijke leer het begrip van God en het dagelijks leven van een gelovige vormt, speelt een belangrijke rol. Dankzij de verschillende vormen kan de lezer een beknopt standpunt vergelijken met een uitgewerkte redenering en een terloops geuite gedachte.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDit is ernstig, vaak polemisch schrijven. Het vraagt om aandachtige lezing, niet om gemakkelijke instemming. Lezers met belangstelling voor lutherse theologie, bijbelinterpretatie of de taal van de debatten tijdens de Reformatie kunnen Luthers standpunten in uiteenlopende contexten leren kennen en nagaan hoe hij zijn betoog opbouwt.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"selections-from-the-table-talk-of-martin-luther","title":"Selecties uit de Tafelgesprekken van Maarten Luther","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt Martin Luther’s dinner table, talk turns from God and the Devil to marriage, music, money and illness.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSelections from the Table Talk of Martin Luther brings you to the Reformer’s dinner table at his home in Wittenberg.
