Description
his book examines the relationship between Lutherās understanding of āwhat makes a Christianā (authorās phrase) and his view of Christian political involvement. Lutherās theological reflections on this subject and hispolitical responses have been controversial since their initial expression. Modern interpretations of Lutherās contributions have been dominated by negative judgments. Luther has been accused of fostering a quietist response to the government that is politically conservative at best and reactionary at worst (i.e. the government must always be obeyed whether it is right or wrong).
Tyranny and Resistance addresses these modern judgments by examining Lutherās political theory and by analyzing the Magdeburg Confession of 1550. It begins with an overview of Lutherās theology in general and resistance in particular by examining the Peasantsā War of 1525 and the Augsburg Recess of 1530. Whitford argues that in Luther there is a connection between Christian identity and community action.
