Wittenberg Meets the World: Reimagining the Reformation at the Margins

Synopsis

As The Global Church Assesses The Legacy Of The Lutheran Reformation, Alberto García And John Nunes In This Book Reimagine Central Reformational Themes From Black, Hispanic, And Other Perspectives Traditionally At The Margins Of Catholic-evangelical Communities. Focusing On The Central Theme Of Justification, García And Nunes Delve Into Three Interlinked Aspects Of The Church's Life In The World—martyria (witness), Diakonia (service), And Koinōnia (fellowship).
