Centuries After Luther

Unlike Luther who published his theses in the Catholic europe of 1517, the author refers in 95 theses to the globalized and pluralistic world of our times. Each theses is explained with a generally understandable essay of 2-5 pages. Numerous remarks allow readers with scientific interests to go into greater depth. At the end of most theses questions are formulated showing that the author knows what he does not know. At the end of some theses proposals for political action are made such as fighting hunger, diminishing inequality, promoting democracy and reforming the United Nations. Johannsson starts by outlining his conservative view of Christian Theology based on the Bible and some clarifying contributions of Joseph Smith (1806-1844). In the following ten chapters the author attempts to show the great relevance of the Christian point of view for the questions of our time. He indicates the possibility of a compromise between creationism and and the evolution paradigm. His theory of matter, spirit and soul has the potential of bringing natural and social sciences nearer to each other. Johannssons concept of Christian love proves not only to be a fundamental priciple of ethics but also of economics and political science.

Johannsson is a graduate economist with studies in philosophy and theology. He worked in research and teaching at the University of Saarland and at private schools. He was co-author of a two volume publication about taxes and investment. Other scienitific publications concerned retraining decisions and global flight. His first English publication is "Come", a volume of poetry about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Bruno received the prize of the jury of the philosophy slam Chemnitz. He is administrator of the German websites www.omega-media.net and https://theaundbruno.jimdofree.com. His English website is https.//bruno-johannsson.jimdofree.com. Since 2012 Bruno and his wife Thea are co-Initiators and moderators of the Philosophical Cafe, Chemnitz. Since 2017 Bruno and Thea have published five volumes of philosophical dialogues in their own neo-socratic method. Five of these dialogues were subject sof broadcasts at Radio Darmstadt. The subjects of the dialogues are taken out of social philosophy (Vol.1), epistemology (Vol. 2), ethics (Vol. 3), metaphysics (Vol. 4) and anthropology (Vol. 5). In some of these dialogues the subjects of "Centuries after Luther" are dealt with much greater depth, and and in some cases controversially.
