In his writings, Luther does not offer a full-blown epistemological theory or model of cognitive psychology. Nevertheless, he occasionally makes use of some already available theories, but seems to do this in a very eclectic manner. Many of his treatments of epistemology and psychology are aimed at specifically religious use, and he seems to draw from ancient and contemporary theories only to the extent that they suit his religious aims. It is not possible to argue that Luther adopts any clear-cut philosophical theory, which he then employs coherently across the fields of philosophy and theology. However, it is possible to analyze how Luther uses different philosophical theories. At best, this demonstrates Luther’s dependence on late medieval and earlier philosophy and may help to find commonalities between Luther and precedent traditions.
