The 38 texts in this volume are like prismatic refractions of the main theological topic: God's self-revelation, "I am the Lord, your God!," accurately characterized by Luther as the epitome of all promises. Shaped by decades of academic engagement with Luther and Hamann, the author expands this prism into a broad spectrum of systematic theology in studies on dogmatics, ethics, and religious philosophy.
