Lutheranism is commonly viewed as theological movement. Some consider the idea of “Lutheran spirituality” an oxymoron—a species of “works righteousness.” But if spirituality indicates “a faith plus a path” then, as Bradley Hanson, the Lutheran tradition may be said to offer a distinctive spirituality. It is not so much based on techniques or specific practices, but on an attitude of trust and faith in God’s grace. In relationship with Christ the believer is free from the never-ending quest to earn good standing with God, and at the same time free for service to God and others. Beginning with Martin Luther’s original insights, Bradley Hanson traces such themes as the Lutheran approach to Scripture, preaching, and music, sacraments, prayer, and faith in daily life.
