A Celebration of Graham White's Luther as Nominalist

Graham White’s monograph, Luther as Nominalist: A Study of the Logical Methods Used in Martin Luther’s Disputations in the Light of Their Medieval Background, has remained the most important work in the field of Luther studies since its original publication in 1994. On this occasion of the publication of the second edition of this work by Lexham Press, we reflect on the author’s achievements in excavating late medieval philosophy, particularly logic, in order to analyze Luther’s formulation of doctrine, and more broadly, on the theories and methods of philosophical theology as they contribute to knowledge in history, theology, and philosophy.
