What is the task of the theologian who seeks to find a voice in the nexus between imagination and institution, living faith and struggling church? What is the mission of the church, which faces up to its history of coercion, finds its feet in service and activism, yet opens a space to receive and share words of divine revelation? What is the rightful and wrongful use of power, whether that of the church or the theologian? What is the liberating power of the God whose power is made perfect in weakness? I suggest that these questions set the agenda for Vítor Westhelle's essays translated under the title Liberating Luther. Dating from the late 1970s to the 1990s, the collection represents Westhelle's creative work for the Evangelical Church of the Lutheran Confession in Brazil within the emergence of liberation theologies across denominations in Latin America. Both words of the title orient the reader to the contents: the task of a theologian within a specific tradition, the mission of a church amidst struggle for liberation.
As a synonym for the church's action in facing poverty and structures of injustice, the word praxis provides a thread to follow through the essays. Westhelle takes up the praxis concept from his friend and mentor Hugo Assmann, a Catholic on the earlier edge of liberation theology. From Assmann, Westhelle gleans first a focus on defending people's right to work within an overall socio-political analysis; second, he gains the insight that Marxists and other social scientists attack theological abstractions, but neglect the role of people of faith and congregations in practical situations of struggle. Theology that is liberative – and not simply in service to the status quo – emerges as faith reflects upon particular experiences of conflict and struggle. Westhelle questions the extent to which Assmann appears to equate praxis with strategic efficacy: is liberation only a matter of instrumental means to reaching a goal? Two essays address class conflict within churches of Latin America. With the example of the church in Chile responding to the 1973 Pinochet military coup, Westhelle illustrates how divisions between pastors and laity manifested class interests made even more complex by the confessional and ethnic identities of those involved. What is the role of the liberation-informed pastor when solidarity with the marginalized and exploited poor also divides oneself from working class lay people within one's own congregation? The task of the liberation theologian amidst the divisions of an institution calls forth creativity and discernment within particular situations.
With the 1992 recognition of five hundred years of colonization on the American continent and the genocide of indigenous peoples, Westhelle interprets the Cain and Abel myth to confront the church with its own complicity in murder.

This paper argues that the theological and anthropological assumptions underlying Gregory of Nyssa's doctrine of epectasy, an understanding of our eschatological state as one of perpetual growth in the love of God, mandate a christological conclusion that many will find undesirable: there will come a time in the course of eternal life at which each of the redeemed come to love the Father more than Christ did on the cross as he offered his life for the life of the world, and more than Christ did on Easter Sunday as he conquered death.
本文论证了尼萨的格列高里（Gregory of Nyssa）的 "永生"（epectasy）学说所依据的神学和人类学假设，即把我们的末世状态理解为在上帝的爱中不断成长的状态，这就注定了一个许多人都会认为不可取的基督论结论：在永生的过程中会有这样一个时刻，每个被救赎的人对天父的爱都会超过基督在十字架上为世人的生命献出生命时的爱，超过基督在复活节主日战胜死亡时的爱。
