This book provides a new interpretation of Luther and mission and serves to "rehabilitate" the reformer in modern missiological studies. Öberg argues that Luther fully embraced the missionary task to the world. Because Luther was foremost a teacher and pastor, his writings interact with Scripture and address current, local situations. Yet in Luther's Bible exposition, pamphlets, and treatises, a clear and passionate commitment to the Gospel and world mission emerges. Shaped by a critical attitude toward Luther, past scholars have misinterpreted the reformer. An honest portrait recognizes Luther's subtle but solid contribution to evangelical missiology. In Luther and World Mission, Luther emerges as a mission-minded servant of the Gospel who laid the foundation for a Lutheran theology of mission.
