Abstract
Martin Luther and doing theology in the future. The Netherdutch Reformed Church of Africa prides itself for the fact that she has always appreciated the German-Lutheran tradition. The Reformed Theological College has for 15 years contributed to the appreciation of this tradition. This article wants to encourage the new leadership to keep this legacy alive. The main aspects of Luther’s theology are explained. These aspects are: prayer (oratio), meditation (meditatio), constitation (tentatio), grace of the Spirit (gratia Spiritus), exegesis (sedulalectio), and the use of other sciences in understanding the Bible (bonarum atrium cognitia). Attention is also given to the subject-matter of Theology as well as the notion of humbleness.

Attention is given to the subject-matter of Theology as well as the notion of humbleness
Een van die redes waarom Luther-navorsing vir die Hervormde Teologiese Kollege (HTK) van belang is, hou verband met Luther se aaneenknoping van godsdienstige belangstelling, teologiese kompetensie en kerklike praktyk (Korsch 2010a:92)

How to cite this article: Van Wyk, I.W.C., 2015, ‘Martin Luther en teologiebeoefening in die toekoms’, HTS Teologiese Studies/Theological Studies 71(3), Art. Die Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk van Afrika (NHKA) kon vir ’n eeu Teologie aan die Universiteit van Pretoria (UP) beoefen. Martin Luder, of Luther, word algemeen as die vader van die reformatoriese teologie erken. Dit is nie moontlik om aan die volle spektrum van Luther se teologie aandag te gee nie. In 1501 begin hy met sy studie aan die Universiteit van Erfurt (dieselfde jaar waarin die Universiteit van Wittenberg gestig is). Nadat hy vir ’n jaar in Rome was, keer hy in 1511 na Wittenberg terug as onderhoof van die Augustyne Klooster en dosent in Teologie. Op 19 November 1512 promoveer hy tot doktor in die Teologie en begin met sy voorlesings oor Genesis Nie-Luther-spesialiste wat in ’n breedvoeriger oorsig belangstel, kan Bayer (1994:35–126, 1995, 2001, 2003), Lohse (1995) en Schwarz [1986] 2014 lees
