God and Government synopsis

Martin Luther (1483-1546) was known for reform, a movement that shook Europe with religious schism and social unrest. While his ninety-ninth treatises and other theological works have acquired centuries of scrutiny and recognition, his political writings have traditionally been rejected as inconsistent or incoherent.

God and the Government focus on Luther's interpretations of theology and the Bible, the historical context of reform, and a wide range of writings that have been abused or embezzled. To rephrase and clarify Luther's political ideas, Garrett Carty asserts that political writings are better understood through the teaching of the Lutheran kingdoms, where humans are at the same time inhabiting a spiritual inner kingdom and another temporal outer kingdom.

By focusing on Luther's interpretations of theology and the Bible, the historical context of reform, and a wide range of writings that have been abused or ignored, Carty traces how Luther applied political theories to the most difficult reform challenges, such as the peasants' 1525 war and Protestant resistance against the Holy Roman Empire, And educational reforms The book compares Luther's political thought to that of Protestant political reformers and Catholics in the sixteenth century: God and the government offer cross-scholarship from political theories, religious studies, history and theology, A comprehensive overview of Martin Luther's political thought through his career and writings.
