Morphologie des Luthertums. Erster Band, Theologie und Weltanschauung des Luthertums hauptfächlich im 16. und 17. Jahrhundert

"Morphologie des Luthertums. Erster Band: Theologie und Weltanschauung des Luthertums" by Werner Elert offers a detailed exploration of the theological and philosophical aspects of Lutheranism, particularly during the 16th and 17th centuries. Elert presents Lutheranism not just as a set of doctrines but as a cultural and historical movement that shaped and was shaped by the intellectual currents of the period. The first volume delves into the theology of Martin Luther, focusing on core themes such as justification by faith, the role of Scripture, and the nature of God's relationship with humanity. Elert's approach is historical and analytical, examining how Lutheran thought evolved and influenced societal views.

In the second part, he also connects these theological ideas to broader worldviews, showing how they interacted with societal structures and other religious and philosophical movements of the time​
