Martin Luther: A Guided Tour of His Life and Thought

Martin Luther: A Guided Tour of His Life and Thought

Protestants of all stripes have long read at least a few of Martin Lutherâ€™s works, but 21st-century readers need guidance and encouragement. Stephen Nicholsâ€™s Martin Luther provides both.

After an exciting overview of Lutherâ€™s life and theology, Nichols orients the reader to some of the Reformerâ€™s major works: The Bondage of the Will, The Three Treatises, The Small Catechism, and On the Councils and the Church. Lutherâ€™s ethical writings, "table talk," hymns, and sermons also receive due attention. "A Select Guide to Books by and about Luther" concludes this volume, which displays more than 20 illustrations.

"I have chosen the texts and issues that seem to be both pivotal and prominent in Lutherâ€™s thought," writes Nichols. "This encounter is intended to serve as the gateway for further exploration in his life and thought."

"How do you write a book thatâ€™s easy to read and yet is theologically precise? How do you do a book on everything from training of children to hymns to preaching to political conflictâ€”and have it always full and running over with the glorious gospel, which Luther found again for the whole Christian world? Well, Nichols has done it." â€”D. Clair Davis
