English summary: An opus of Luther's with an innovative approach: Humor and melancholy as the basic attitudes in life - corresponding to the faith-based distance to one's self and to the refutation. Soderblom is above all known as a historian of religion and an ecumenical man of the Church. But he also did much for theology, especially for the interpretation of Luther. This volume presents one of his three most important monographs on Luther: "Humor and Melancholy and other Luther Studies." This volume is known for its innovative approach of not concentrating on Luther's teachings but on his personal piety. Humor and melancholy are understood as basic attitudes in life. They correspond to the faith-based distance to one's self and to the refutation. German description: Soderblom ist der Nachwelt vor allem als Religionshistoriker und als okumenischer Kirchenmann bekannt. Er hat jedoch auch fur die Theologie und hier insbesondere fur die Luther-Interpretation Bedeutendes geleistet. Dieser Band bietet die wichtigste seiner drei Monographien uber Luther: umor und Melancholie und andere Lutherstudien eine Vortragssammlung von 1919. Charakteristisch fur ihren innovativen Ansatz ist, dass sie nicht von Luthers Lehre, sondern von seiner Frommigkeit ausgeht. Humor und Melancholie sind als Grundeinstellungen zum Leben zu verstehen. Sie entsprechen der im Glauben grundenden Distanz zu sich selbst und der Anfechtung. Das zentrale Thema fur Luther ist demnach nicht die Rechtfertigungslehre, sondern die Glaubensgewissheit. Wichtig ist auch die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit Luthers Haltung zum Bauernkrieg und deren uberwiegend konservativer Wurdigung in der damaligen deutschen Forschung. Beigefugt ist ein Aufsatz uber Luthers universale Bedeutung, in dem Soderblom ihn fur einen profilierten gegenwartigen Protestantismus reklamiert, der sein Erbe in einen umfassenden okumenischen Dialog einzubringen hat.
