English summary: What is the meaning of Christian freedom? What experiences of freedom does it offer? Where does it break through experiences of unfreedom? What does this very freedom tie people to? Each contribution in this book examines a central work by Martin Luther with regard to the respective understanding of freedom. Thereby, the different contributions relate Luther’s insights and the genuine concern of the Reformation with the self- and world experience of modern man, as well as with contemporary theories of freedom and unfreedom. What is more, they illuminate in how far the gospel is to be understood (as a foundation of human freedom in all its varieties as an inner freedom, freedom of action and political freedom). Thus, the articles highlight today’s relevance of Luther’s theology on the freedom of a Christian. German description: Was hat es auf sich mit der christlichen Freiheit? Welche Erfahrungen von Freiheit eroffnet sie? Welche Erfahrungen von Unfreiheit hebt sie auf? Welche Bindung geht mit ihr einher? Die einzelnen Beitrage des Bandes befragen jeweils eine zentrale Schrift Luthers auf das sie leitende Verstandnis von Freiheit hin. Sie bringen Luthers Einsichten und das genuine Anliegen der Reformation ins Gesprach mit der Selbst- und Welterfahrung des modernen Menschen sowie den Anfragen zeitgenossischer Freiheits- bzw. Unfreiheitstheorien. Sie beleuchten, inwiefern das Evangelium als Grund menschlicher Freiheit in der Vielfalt ihrer Dimensionen – als innere Freiheit, Handlungsfreiheit und politische Freiheit – zu begreifen ist und erschliessen so die Gegenwartsrelevanz von Luthers Theologie der Freiheit eines Christenmenschen. Mit Beitragen von Christine Axt-Piscalar, Mareile Lasogga, Rochus Leonhardt, Wolf-Friedrich Schaufele und Notger Slenczka.
