German edition of Volume 32 - Lutherische Kirche. Geschichte und Gestalten Lutheranism has
spread throughout the world in various ways. As a result it has become at home in very
different cultural contexts. But can there be a Lutheran identity? Or are there not rather
Lutheran identities depending on the character? And what connects them how does one live in a
communion that makes possible numerous expressions of Lutheran identity and where are the
challenges of this togetherness? In its struggle for communion that is to be a living church
community the Lutheran World Federation faces these very questions. Reason enough to look for
identity markers for pillars of a common Lutheran identity that have relevance for history
the present and different cultural contexts linking theology and history. englischsprachige
