Konstellationen Und Transformationen Reformatorischer Theologie

'Reformation' is a key word that describes fundamental changes in church and theology, in social and political life with striking consequences for the entire European history. However, this term entails the suggestion, that a primary and original form of Christian belief is restored while in fact something new and unpredictable was initiated, a series of ongoing transformations. Rethinking theology in the wake of the Reformation therefore starts by reassuming its initial impulses, not by restricting itself to its historical forms. One might even say: The more the constellations of the formative years of protestant theology are historically reconsidered, the stronger the urge is felt to reshape contemporary religious life and Christian faith.
