The ‘New Finnish Interpretation of Luther’, a project initiated by Tuomo Mannermaa in the 1980s, has grown to be an influential research venture which influences both Reformation studies and current ecumenical theology. Risto Saarinen first outlines briefly the basic ideas and claims of this school. He then investigates its ecumenical influence in the Lutheran–Roman Catholic dialogue, the Lutheran–Orthodox dialogue, and the Anglican–Lutheran Porvoo communion. Minna Hietamäki discusses in more detail how the so-called differentiated consensus method relates to this trend and the ways in which it has similarities with Receptive Ecumenism. Hietamäki also introduces the more recent Finnish ecumenical project, ‘Reason and Religious Recognition’, an approach aiming to understand how genuinely different theological convictions can co-exist within an ecumenical frame, and reflects on how this might serve to develop the theology and practice of Receptive Ecumenism. |
