[The Theology of Practice by Martin Doerne]
The aim of this book is to open up the wide-spread written works of Martin Doerne (1900–1970) as a brand of practical theology that approaches contemporary challenges on the basis of its Lutheran background. Differentiating between five main areas of interest Doerne pursued (Volkskirche, man and sin, education, the sermon, and literature), the author demonstrates that Doerne’s work, meandering as it was between the usual classifications of systematic and practical theology, offers instrumental insights into the development of practical theology in the 20th century and during the so-called 'Third Reich' in particular. Doerne’s position, it emerges, also reflects both opportunities and limits of a systematic and historically oriented practical theology.
