29. nov. 2012: Between Monophysitism and Nestorianism: The Early Christian Roots of Martin Luther's Sacramental Theology

In his so-called 'later' sacramental theology (of 1527-28), German reformer Martin Luther developed a view of the eucharist which aimed to correct the misunderstandings made by his fellow reformers (most significantly the followers of Zwingly). In doing so, Luther drew heavily on positions of the eucharist found in the early church.

By investigating their influences on Luther's sacramental theology, the seminary will discuss and assess the early Christian positions known as Nestorianism and Monophysitism, respectively.
