Martin Luther was a German monk, priest, professor of theology and iconic figure of the Protestant Reformation. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with money. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Emperor. -wikipedia.

The nature and role of positive law has largely been neglected in recent Protestant theology and social ethics. Modern Protestantism and Positive Law introduces and critically summarizes a tradition in Continental Protestant thought about human law, drawing on writings of Barth, Brunner, Ellul, Thielicke, Wolf, Pannenberg, Huber, and Kreβ, many of which have not been translated into English. The book argues that law is an essential political and social institution within developed societies, one that is normative and dependent on an encompassing vision of justice but that also necessarily reflects the contemporary pluralism of those societies. Modern Protestantism and Positive Law argues that theological and ethical perspectives on positive law developed by Protestant thinkers have a place in reflection on positive law, provided they are conceived and expressed in a manner appropriately respectful of the diversity of contemporary opinion regarding the expression of religious perspectives in the public arena.

This Special Issue will publish articles based on papers presented at the Teaching the Christian Intellectual Tradition Conference held at Samford University in Birmingham, Alabama, on October 6-8, 2016. The conference theme, Teaching the Reformations, explored pedagogical methods for integrating the study of the Reformations into undergraduate curricula, particularly but not exclusively into core curriculum and general education courses. The pedagogical focus of Teaching the Reformations will extend to the Special Issue and will differentiate this issue in the vast field of Reformation studies.

Luther provides a clear exposition of the state of German politics on the eve of the Reformation. Dr Mullett concentrates particularly on the evolution of Luther's thought and its central preoccupation with re-aligning the church's theology with that of the New Testament.

"Geistliche auf grenzüberschreitender Mission: Die geistliche Elite Zürichs als außenpolitischer Akteur in diplomatie- und konfessionsgeschichtlicher Perspektive. Im Zürich des 17. Jahrhunderts genoss die reformierte Stadtgeistlichkeit weitreichende politische Mitspracherechte. Insbesondere während Phasen der Annäherung zwischen Zürich und protestantischen Mächten nahmen etliche Mitglieder der geistlichen Elite Einfluss auf die außenpolitischen Geschäfte: Sie nutzten ihre theologischen Kontakte in ganz Europa als Informationsnetzwerke, leisteten handfeste Unterstützung für fremde Diplomaten in der Eidgenossenschaft, wirkten mittels Predigten und Petitionen auf die Meinungsbildung in Zürich ein und standen ihrer Obrigkeit - dem Zürcher Rat - als Gesandte, Berater, Übersetzer und Informanten zur Seite. Sarah Rindlisbacher Thomi widmet sich dieser bisher wenig beachteten Verflechtung von Religion und Außenpolitik. Sie macht anhand von sechs Detailstudien das diplomatische Agieren von einzelnen Stadtgeistlichen sichtbar, das stets in Zeiten des intensiven Austauschs zwischen Zürich und fremden Mächten fiel, darunter protestantische Reichsfürsten, die Niederlande, England und Schweden. In einer Kombination von diplomatie-, kultur- und kirchengeschichtlichen Ansätzen beleuchtet die Studie Praktiken, Argumentationen und Logiken des grenzüberschreitenden Austauschs im konfessionellen Zeitalter".
