Martin Luther is not typically thought of as an ecumenical theologian. In fact, his theology was chiefly responsible for the reformational schism in the Catholic Church. Bucher, however, views Luther as an ecumenical resource, whose \doctrinal hermeneutic\ may play a conciliatory role in current ecumenical dialogue. In support of this assertion, Bucher examines Luther\'s understanding and use of doctrine in: his early writings, his dialogue with the Unitas Fratrum (Unity of Brethren), and the Schmalkald Articles. Bucher\'s historical study sheds insight not only on Luther\'s theology, but also provides an invaluable ecumenical tool for contemporary dialogue between Christian traditions.
