FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this book, Roger Whittall argues that Luthers teaching on the common priesthood (the "priesthood of believers") was a persistent element of Luthers ecclesiology and closely related to his understanding of the church as the communion of saints. Whittalls focus is the common priesthoods activity in the Christian community, moving beyond its contested relationship to the churchs ordained ministry, or the views that limit its appearance to Luthers early polemical writings. Rather, the common priesthood stands alongside the public ministry. They are equal partners in the churchs mandate to receive and speak Gods word, to respond in prayer, praise, and joyful service of Gods world and all its people. This wide-ranging investigation features later material not often considered in relation to the common priesthood. For Luther "priesthood" was a biblical expression of Christian spiritual life, worship, and service, forming both the personal faith of individual Christians and the corporate nature of the Christian community. Whittall also examines Luthers use of key biblical texts to link church and priesthood through the themes of unity and community, equality, and participation. Understood in this way, this priesthood still speaks powerfully to the identity and mission of the church today. Author Biography Roger Whittall is an honorary postdoctoral associate at the University of Divinity, Melbourne.

Whittalls careful chronological tracing of the development of Luthers views of this calling of the baptized and the churchs public ministry in several literary genres not only illuminates the historical witness of the reformer but also provides resources for encouraging all Christians to take seriously both the role of the shepherds of Christs people and believers responsibility to witness to Christ in daily life. -- Robert Kolb, professor emeritus, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis Details ISBN1978715420 Author Roger Whittall Publisher Rowman & Littlefield Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781978715424 Format Hardcover Imprint Lexington Books/Fortress Academic Subtitle The Ecclesiological Boundaries and Horizons of Martin Luthers Common Priesthood Country of Publication United States Audience Professional & Vocational ISBN-10 1978715420 AU Release Date 2023-12-14 DEWEY 230.41 Pages 268 Publication Date 2023-12-11 US Release Date 2023-12-11 UK Release Date 2023-12-11 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
