Abstract
Luther’s leading theological idea, the theology of the cross, is based on his distinctive view of God’s love and its relationship to suffering and evil. Luther argues that God’s actions in the world are ‘crossformed’. The new Finnish Luther interpretation offers methodologically and thematically fresh perspectives on Luther’s understanding of God’s love and its relation to human love and to evil. The idea of the ‘real’ presence of Christ in the believer receives special highlight. On the basis of these considerations, this essay attempts to open up new perspectives for Evangelical theology on the problem of evil and God’s love.
