Upon its publication in 1985, Luther’s Theology of the Cross received widespread acclaim as one of the most innovative and important works on Luther scholarship in recent memory. In this re-written and revised edition of his classic text, Alister McGrath draws on new sources and advances in our understanding of late medieval intellectual, cultural and religious life to offer a fresh understanding of this pivotal moment in Protestant history. Martin Luther’s early “theological breakthrough” is widely considered to be of fundamental importance to the history of the Reformation and development of Protestantism. McGrath reshapes and hones his initial argument to take into account advances in our understanding of the late medieval world-view and scholastic theology, and Luther’s own theology of justification (including the so-called ‘Finnish school’). Many of these developments have not yet been incorporated into Luther scholarship. The result is a second edition which will be as innovative and ground-breaking as the first. This new edition is certain to find a wide readership amongst all those interested in Martin Luther, the intellectual history of the late Middle Ages and sixteenth century, and those interested in the Reformation and the development of Protestantism. English-speaking readers will especially appreciate its extensive use and assessment of recent German-language scholarship, especially of currents in the late Middle Ages.
