The spirit of the Reformation. 500 Years On

The commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation
has gone down in history as one of the most important achievements in the
ecumenical movement and in the life of the Church at large. A question that
remains fundamental up till our very day is the following: “Does Martin
Luther’s lived theology have anything to say to us today?”
For this reason, academics and ecumenists from a number of distinguished
European Universities as well as from the University of Malta came together to
interpret anew the theological gifts received through the Lutheran Reformation
in their appropriate historical and ecclesial context.
The conference proceedings are divided in three parts: the exploration of
the historical context, the major theological issues within that context, and an
appraisal of the spirit of the reformation today.
This endeavour revealed significant insights: a commitment to narrate
the story in a different way, a celebration of the return to the sources of the
Christian faith that has actually produced a process of regeneration of the faith
both for Lutherans and for Catholics, and a mutual recognition can never be
underestimated.
Whatever its impact on history, the Reformation remains meaningful, first
and foremost as a spiritual event focusing on the relationship of the self with
God, as an opportunity to bring out the riches in both traditions, as well as a
reminder that dialogue opens up fresh avenues of thought.
