THEOLOGY

Deanna Thompson "Letting the World Run Free: Luther, Romans, and the Call to Reform" In Reformation Readings of ROmans. T&T Clark 2008

This article examines how Luther‘s early theology mines the resources of Romans to advocate for a theology of freedom and how that message reaches the masses more through preaching than his theological treatises.

Deanna Thompson "Martin Luther" In Empire and the Christian Tradition. Minneapolis: Fortress Press 2007

This chapter is a biography of Martin Luther as seen through the lens of the politics of empire. I suggest that Luther‘s reimagining of religious freedom leads to a theology of resistance with respect to ecclesial and imperial authorities of the day, a theological perspective that unfortunately Luther himself does not always follow.
