Experiencing Gospel

History & Biography

“Gordon Jensen has written a broad history of the so-called Luther Bible. In clear and captivating prose, he tells the behind-the-scenes story of its creation by multiple Wittenberg figures who spent years translating and revising the Scriptures into a German that resonated with German speakers. Jensen captures the energy of this group, the convictions that motivated them to carry out this lengthy project, and the vitality they saw in the Word. Through humanistic learning and creative renderings, they created a dynamic translation that quickly became a classic.”

“Robert Kolb brings a lifetime of research, teaching, and reflection to this portrayal of Luther, and it shows. Kolb makes a complicated figure accessible without sacrificing a millimeter in depth. He paints Luther in vivid detail, highlighting especially the perspectives of Luther’s colleagues in Wittenberg, who worked with him and with each other to build a new religious and social movement.”

The Freedom of a Christian

Theology

“The Freedom of a Christian is one of the "greatest hits" in the history of Christianity. Mark D. Tranvik translates it here with an ear for the modern reader, reclaiming the vigor of Luther's own language and giving it new life for our times. This is a translation for all who are curious about the transformative possibilities of Luther's message.”
