- Summary:
- The selections included here speak across the centuries and still touch the spiritual concerns of today. Drawing on Luther's Old and New Testament Bible commentaries, his treatises and polemics, his sermons and letters, his "table talk, " and his enduring hymnbook, Faith and Freedom will provide a stirring tonic for anyone seeking the heritage of modern Christian spirituality, and does not require any specialized knowledge of Reformation theology or Church history. Rich in language, ever powerful and fresh in ideas, and direct and often unsettling in their aim, the writings of Luther still provide compelling reading.
