Differently from the 95 Theses, Luther's Heidelberg Disputation explores his central objec­tive as a professor of theology a reformulation of university theology in view of scholastic aberrations. His new concept is inspired and informed by Paul, Augustine, and medieval my­sticism. His success among students and magisters shows that with his criticism of the rather helpless attempts to base the Christian faith in philosophy, he had the finger on the pulse. To the young intellectuals whom Luther inspired about the issue of the reformation in Heidel­berg, the old way of doing theology seemed no longer plausible. Luther by contrast offered a theology inspired by Paul and mysticism with new possibilities of expression that promised to be existentially relevant.
