In anticipation of our July 2025 publication of Oswald Bayer\u2019s Promissio:\u00a0 The Reformational Turn in Luther\u2019s Theology<\/em>, we offer here a chronological bibliography of English translations of Bayer\u2019s other works, compiled by Philip Bartelt.\u00a0<\/p>

There is more to come.<\/p>

The Works of Oswald Bayer in English<\/strong><\/p>

The following bibliography is the product of several months of careful research and editing by dedicated theologians and scholars. Special thanks are owed to Paul Rorem for spearheading the project. Likewise, thanks are owed to Nicholas Hopman for his work in editing and proofing the bibliography. Finally, thanks are owed to all the translators without whom Bayer would remain largely inaccessible to the English-speaking world. Although it is the most complete bibliography of its kind, it is far from complete. As Bayer\u2019s corpus continues to be translated from German into English, this bibliography will continue to be updated. Additions and amendments are welcome and can be submitted to Philip Bartelt at pbartelt@goodshepherdnewfairfield.org<\/a>.<\/p>
