The theology of Martin Luther in a global context

Hans-Martin Barth's lecture intends to place Martin Luther's theology within the global context of the history of human thought and great religions. To do this it sees the need to definitively place aside the discussion of issues imposed by tradition, to "deprovincialize" the theology of the reformer and to seek the elements in it that are capable of being connected globally and of contributing to the comprehension of the human-being and of God, thus becoming useful for modern society.
