5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive guide for furthering your study of Luther, April 19, 2011

This review is from: Martin Luther An Introduction to His Life and Work (Paperback)

I have just finished this book and it is an excellent stepping stone for further study of the Reformer, Martin Luther. A glance at the table of contents will give you an insight into just how comprehensive this book is. The first part is a rather breezy and easily readable overview of Luther's life. The author covers questions related to Luther's signicance in history, a guide to Luther's writings, and issues in Luther's theology. He also gives a history of the interpretation of Luther. Chapter 7 gives resources for further study for the serious Luther. The translator gives a bibliography of English resources up to the early 1980's. This should be on the shelf (or Kindle) of every serious Luther study. I highly commend it. It provides a challenging read or a quick reference for one who wishes to understand Martin Luther.
