Customer Reviews

Sheer Gold!

Even if one does not agree with all Luther says, and indeed these lectures are Luther developing his theology, their value consists in the snap-shot it gives us of his mind, his wrestling with the texts and his probing mind! Buy this book, have your mind streched!

Great stuff

Luther is a great teacher, and this is like you are in his classroom. This book oozes gospel.

Great translation and introduction of a critical piece of Christian thought

This particular translation really speaks to the layman and expounds Luther's thoughts on very important topics in a reachable and useful manner.
