It aims to keep alive the Reformation discovery of the "freedom of a Christian" as a basis for responsible economic and political action in the present. The goal is to provide impulses from Luther's work for the sustainable shaping of the future and to promote interdisciplinary dialogue among church, science, politics, and business.
