Summary
The theological debate on the German Evangelical Church's Council to Aid Orientation in the Family [Orientierungshilfe zur Familie des Rates der EKD, 2013] has focused on its concept of marriage on the one hand and on its recourse to Luther's dictum of matrimony as a 'secular thing' on the other. Theological and ethical recourses to Luther and the theology of reformation have to be based on a concept of historical hermeneutics. The article exemplifies an application of such a concept to the theological idea of matrimony.
