A Journey through Christian Theology

Theology

“Users of this anthology need not fear about losing their way on the 'Journey': Anderson is a reliable guide, proving well–chosen texts, accurate introductions, penetrating study questions, and a helpful glossary.”

Argula von Grumbach (1492–1554/7)

History & Biography

“With his world-class expertise of this period, his judicious balance, and his sparkling prose style, Matheson strikes me as Argula's ideal biographer. Unless additional Argula writings come to light, it is hard to imagine a biography that will supersede this one.”

Martin Luther, the Bible, and the Jewish People

History & Biography

“With great precision and clarity, this reader re-opens and decisively advances the discussion of Luther's relationship to the Jews. Indispensable for all future study of this vexed question.”

The Annotated Luther, Volume 1

History & Biography

“The Annotated Luther series represents a finely crafted synthesis between readable primary texts and some of the best secondary scholarship. A superb editorial team, under the leadership of Hillerbrand, Stjerna, and Wengert, has made seventy-five selections, ranging from major treatises to sermons and letters, and beautifully laid these out in six volumes, together with state-of-the-art analyses and explanatory notes. Luther the theologian, the biblical interpreter, the pastor, the social/political thinker—all are given their due, and the resulting multidimensional portrait combines balance with a newly sharpened focus. In sum, a signal achievement.”

Two Kinds of Love

Theology

“Tuomo Mannermaa was, and continues to be, the prime mover and inspiration for the Finnish school of Luther interpretation. In this book he lays out a fresh and spirited restatement of his position: tired clichés about "faith alone" should be set aside; the real key to Luther's theology is love. This is a worthy capstone to a distinguished career, and Kirsi Stjerna deserves our gratitude for making it accessible to English readers.”
