Abstract

Sola Scriptura , ‘Scripture alone’ is usually considered the formal principle of Protestantism: God’s revelation is communicated to believers through the word of God present in the Bible, and not so much by patristic tradition, liturgical practice, the teaching office of bishops and pope. Although Luther seldom used the expression he did consider Scripture as the prime source in theology, because it refers essentially to Christ.

On occasion of the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation this study attempts to present the Lutheran understanding of Biblical interpretation as well as Luther’s classical though personalist view of Christology on which it depends.
