Martin Luther’s Understanding of God’s Two Kingdoms: A Response to the Challenge of Skepticism

by William J. Wright

Publisher:

, 2010

Overview

Reconsider Luther’s concept of the “two kingdoms” not as a polarization of secular culture and religious life, but as an acknowledgement of God’s lordship over all creation—including the private and public life of the believer. William J. Wright shows that Luther’s two-kingdom construction was not a justification for living irresponsibly or carelessly—but to live all areas of life in light of Jesus Christ.
