The article analyses the debate in the largest international organization of Lutheran Churches which takes place within the context of the 500th an-niversary of the Reformation that falls in 2017. Theological heritage of Mar-tin Luther is an important point of reference in areas such as herme¬neutics, ethics, political and social commitment, as well as work ethics, and economic life. Analysis of the Reformer’s theological thought in these areas is not only a reminder of key elements of his theology, but also an inspiring, critical actualisation of contemporary problems faced by the Lutheran Churches.
