This book assembles the findings of a half-dozen Luther scholars, writing over the past fifty years, regarding mystical and metaphysical themes in the Reformer's thought: Bengt Hoffman, Bengt Hagglund, Heiko Oberman, Sammeli Juntunen, Berndt Hamm and Volker Leppin. The contributions of Hagglund, Oberman and Juntunen are translated from the German for the first time, and all of the collected material is commented on from a metaphysical perspective by the author of this book. Luther is portrayed here, not as a metaphysician, but as a mystical theologian who freely made use of metaphysical symbolism in his explanations of evangelical doctrine.
