Abstract

The aim of the article is to show the influence of Rhineland's mysticism on Martin Luther's teaching on justification by grace through faith alone. In the first part, we'll show the Rhineland

mysticism in the context of its influence on Luther's teaching on justification. In the second

part, we'll focus on Luther's doctrine of justification in the light of the impact of Rhineland

mysticism on it. This strategy will allow us to prove that Rhineland mysticism had a big impact

on Luther's theology, and for that reason Luther's teaching on justification by grace through

faith alone can be seen as a succession of Rhineland mysticism

Keywords:

Rhineland mysticism, Luther’s theology, sola fide, sola gratia, Meister Eckhart, Johannes Tauler
