| Description: |
"Overall, this book introduces both the life and thought of Martin Luther. It is not intended as an exhaustive treatment of either. Ideally, it would be helpful to include many more texts and issues to show Luther in all his genius. Practically, however, that would try the patience of reader and writer alike. The most comprehensive collection of Luther's writings in English fills fifty-five volumes, which only covers approximately half of his work. Consequently, I have chosen the texts and concerns that seem pivotal in Luther's thought. This book, then, is intended as an acquaintance with Luther which will serve as the gateway for further exploration of his life and thought. The conclusion offers some suggestions and guidance for continuing your journey." from the Introduction by the author. "How do you do a book on everything from training children to hymns to preaching to political conflict - and have it running over with the glorious gospel? Nichols has done it. Be alert: people forget how life-changing the gospel really is - and then are astonished to remember it again as they read Luther." from a review by D. Clair Davis |
