Two Kinds of Love: Martin Luther's Religious World

Tuomo Mannermaa's Two kinds of Love is a provocative work offering a distinctly different interpretation of Martin Luther's theology. Luther, in Mannermaa's treatment here, emerges as a unique theologian of love whose central theology paradigms-the theology of the cross, justification by faith and salvation by grace, and dues absconditus-can be understood fully only within the framework of love.
