Essential Luther

This is a wonderful anthology . Its texts not only span the whole of Luther’s reforming career, but also cover the theological, political, and social issues that mattered most to him and his age. Best of all, the original integrity of the texts remains perceptible, even when abridged. This valuable collection will be a great teaching tool and also a most useful resource for anyone interested in Luther or the Protestant Reformation. -Carlos Eire, Yale University, author of Reformations: The Early Modern World, 1450-1650
