SANTRAC, Aleksandar S.. The Legacy of Martin Luther's Sola Fide. In Skriflig (Online) [online]. 2017, vol.51, n.1, pp.1-7. ISSN 2305-0853.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4102/ids.v51i1.2275.

This article deals with the contemporary relevance of the Luther's sola fide principle in the fifth centennial of the Reformation. Is sola fide really an ecumenical principle or might it become one? Moreover, how useful and relevant is Luther's theology of faith in the midst of the 21st century Christian struggle for justice, goodness, beauty and truth? How significant and efficient is his faith-talk in our progressive combat against any form of discrimination or inequality? In order to answer these questions the article explores the nature and scope of the sola fide principle in its original historical-theological setting and through the contemporary theological debates.
