Face to Face

Theology

“With this book, which is sharp-sighted and convincing throughout, Robert Kolb once again presents a magisterial work on Luther's theology. Kolb leads us right into the core of Luther's understanding of the Christian religion: the assumption of the immediacy of the God-human relationship. Immediately addressed by God's law and gospel, man shapes his relationship to the world and fellow human beings--and to himself. Kolb thankfully elaborates this highly momentous basic idea of Luther in all its richness of facets and its existential implications. A great read as well as an inspiring one!”
