A commonly asked question in both church and academic circles is if theology is theoretical or practical. But this question betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of the nature of Christian theology in general and Lutheran theology in particular. Perhaps the better question to ask is 'What is theology?' It is this question that Oswald Bayer attempts to answer in Theology the Lutheran Way, clearing up misconceptions about the essence of theology. Bayer convincingly demonstrates that the modern split between theory and practice is foreign to the Reformation as well as to the scriptures, and misrepresents the nature of Lutheran theology. Along with Luther himself, Bayer claims that theology, rather than being something that we do, is really what God does. Bayer's inquiry offers students and teachers of theology an illuminating and useful resource on the nature of theology in general, Luther's theology in particular, as well as the problems of contemporary theological methodology.
