"Mein Trost, Kampf und Sieg ist Christus"

Axel Wiemer presents a systematic-theological account of Martin Luther's eschatological teaching. His base is a set of 17 sermons that Luther preached in 1532 and 1533 on 1 Corinthians 15, a chapter that deals with the resurrection and the final completion of God's work.

Wiemer reads the sermon closely and shows how Luther's theology is shaped throughout by its orientation toward the promised fulfilment. The argument extends to Luther's basic positions on the word, on faith, and on the language in which faith is expressed.

The book will interest readers of church history and historical theology, and students who work on the Reformation and its sermon literature.
