Summary
Law and gospel is a central theological category of political ethics, which Protestant theologians have been using since the 1920s to try and define the unsettled relationship between the state and Protestantism. David Scherf examines three theologians and their attempts to reinterpret this relationship with their own understandings of the meaning of law and gospel.
