Although the present is a time o f great opportunity fo r Reformational thinking and activity, some Reformational philosophers are proposing a reconstruction o f the tradition at the foundational level. Conse quently, the present can also he seen as a time o f crisis fo r the tradition as a whole. Proposed shifts are examined in the founda tional areas o f creation order, the antithesis and the authority o f Scripture. These shifts are related to understandings o f our context and thus the nature o f modernity/postmodernity and its connection to these shifts also receives attention.

An often misunderstood element in Luther’s Theology was the combination of its anti-scholastical, practical aim (“vera theologia est practica”) with its highly theoretical outcome. A reason for it might be found it the increasing role of such outcome, which at a given point seemed to have turned into a proper pillar of his own Theology. An example of this (at least apparent) contradiction is provided by the Christological background of the anti-roman doctrine of the Justification as fröhlicher Wechsel/admirabile commercium, which, due to its particular interpretation of the Doctrine of the so-called communicatio idiomatum, lead to the consistent, and nonetheless rejected formulation of a Doctrine of the Theopaschy. Aim of this paper is to sketch such consistent background, its development in the controversies of the second half of the 16th Century, as well as the attempt to save this peculiar element beside the Christological controversies, deriving it no longer from the Christological Doctrine of communicatio idiomatum, but rather from the one of so-called status exinanitionis et exaltationis, keeping a look on its originally practical aim.
