Summary
Wholly Citizens addresses the relation between the church and the world in light of the Reformation teaching of the two realms - expecially as presented by Luther. Joel Biermann argues that, on the one hand, most interpreters of Luther misappropriate Luther by seeing him as a supporter of a wall of separation. On the other hand, those clamoring for the preservation of the rights of Christians and the church are also out of step with a right understanding of the two realms. Instead, the corporate church and individuals are responsible for the world, and each must speak directly about and to the world in meaningful ways. -- Back cover.
