The Courage of Faith: Martin Luther and the Theonomous Self (Studies in Lutheran History and Theology) (Studies in Lutheran History & Theology)
"A refreshing and convincing challenge to the stock notion that Luther's theology promotes human passivity." --Scott Henrix, Princeton Theological Seminary"This is a book that both retrieves previous challenges to Luther's theology and ethics, and advances original responses to these challenges. Based on significant new research, Gaebler offers powerful new interpretations of developments in Luther's positions on gender issues, self-love, and the possibilities of human agency. This is a brilliant contribution to Luther studies and to Christian theology in general." --Margaret A. Farley, Yale Divinity School
