The Two Kingdoms Doctrine has played a central role for decades in the debate over Lutheran identity. The purpose of this study is to challenge the adequacy of the term and address the following questions: Is there really a Two Kingdoms Doctrine in Luther's texts or is this doctrine a modern construction? Behind this question is another and more fundamental issue: What does Luther's distinction between the spiritual and temporal mean?
