A One-Day Workshop on Luther's Approach to Biblical Interpretation

“MARTIN LUTHER AND HIS IMPACT ON BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION TODAY”

The Christian Church today is divided by differing understandings of Biblical authority and Biblical interpretation. These issues were also at the heart of the Reformation and Martin Luther’s dispute with the established church 500 years ago.

How did Luther understand the authority, the content, and the purpose of Holy Scripture? How did his views change over time? And what, if anything, does this mean for us?
