title = "Lutheran Social Ethics",
abstract = "What is Lutheran social ethics? In order to answer this question, the chapter takes its point of departure in a classical – or maybe the classical – account, namely German theologian Ernst Troeltsch{\textquoteright}s Die Soziallehren der christlichen Kirchen und Gruppen first published in 1912. Troeltsch{\textquoteright}s perception of the Lutheran social ethics of his time is briefly presented. Next, a picture of Luther{\textquoteright}s own social and political thinking which differs from Troeltsch{\textquoteright}s is given, and finally the possibility of formulating a Lutheran social ethics for our time is discussed.",
