The Old Lutheran dogmaticians of the 16th Century grappled with challenge of revisiting and engaging with the theological doctrines of Scholasticism. Central to their efforts were debates on justification within the framework of the Lutheran Reformation, which sparked renewed theological interest in the teachings of the Scholastics. Among these, the reception of the writings of Anselm of Canterbury's writing stands out for its influence on the development of Old Lutheran Christology. While the "doctrine of the threefold office of Christ" (officium Christi triplex) is a distinct innovation of the Reformation, notable parallels can be drawn from Anselm's thought, particularly in respect to the function of Jesus Christ as priest, which is understood in terms of His vicarious atoning death as the God-man. In his treatise Cur Deus Homo (1098), Anselm, the Archbishop of Canterbury, introduces a distinction between the active and passive obedience of Jesus Christ (oboedientia activa/passiva) in the context of justification. This theory of satisfaction, transmitted through Philipp Melanchthon and later through Johann Gerhard, became integral to the Old Lutheran doctrine of justification. Anselm's insights not only shaped Lutheran theology, they also establish a common foundation for ecumenical dialogue between Lutheran and Roman Catholic dogmaticians. This presentation seeks to explore whether and to what extent engagement with Anselm of Canterbury's reflections on justification retains theological relevance today, particularly within an ecumenical framework.
