Product Description
We hear it maintained by people of more gravity than understanding, that genius and taste are strictly reducible to rules, and that there is a rule for everything. So far is it from being true that the finest breath of fancy is a definable thing, that the plainest common sense is only what Mr. Locke would have called a mixed mode, subject to a particular sort of acquired and undefinable tact.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great thoughts; terrible editing, October 30, 2006

By	Jmark2001 (Florida) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Table Talk (Pure Gold Classic) (Paperback)

Martin Luther never ceases to amaze and inspire me with his brilliance and insights. This edition is so poorly edited, however, that there are mispellings throughout and some sentences have not been corrected for grammar. Since this work is in the public domain, you would think that the publishing house would have spent the minimal expense to edit it. It makes great reading but no thanks to the publisher.

1.0 out of 5 stars Censored , August 22, 2008

By	Barbados (CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Table Talk (Pure Gold Classic) (Paperback)

I was very disappointed to learn that this version was CENSORED. They've omitted some original material. That was why I wanted the "Table Talk". It's supposed to be the REAL Martin Luther. Very disappointing!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read, November 15, 2006

By	W. Ranahan "Chiral" (Anderson, IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Table Talk (Pure Gold Classic) (Paperback)

This book is perhaps the most candid look we have into the life and thoughts of Luther. It has its spiritually inspiring moments but for the most part is just good solid Luther logic.
