Theology of the Heart - Bengt R. Hoffman - Bog

Bengt Hoffman elevates Christian spirituality and spiritual formation as proper subjects for serious theological study. This book reveals Luther's mystical experience of God in a prayerful life to be essential in the development of his theology. It shows how the spiritual life is essential to Luther's understanding of the gospel. Balanced by his emphasis on the external Word Luther's experience of the divine was a critical influence on his understanding of faith and salvation.
