Hailer on the Finnish Luther-interpretation

Last volume on Lutherjahrbuch (vol. 77, 2010) contains an article by Martin Hailer entitled: “Rechtfertigung als Vergottung? Eine Auseinandersetzung mit der finnischen Luther-Deutung und ihrer systematisch-theologischen Adaptation”. The author discusses the Finnish position critically mostly on the basis of some Mannermaa’s works, supplementing them with Risto Saarinen’s more general accounts of the Finnish interpretation of Luther. For the sake of comparison, he also drafts some general ideas of Bonhoeffer’s view of participation in God. More importantly, after the discussion of “the Finns”, he critically discusses views of Robert Jenson, seen as an elaboration of the Finnish position.
