A Widower's Lament

History & Biography

“Rittgers has given us access to a remarkable early Lutheran document of Christian piety as a new widower copes with loss and grief and looks for consolation. This sensitive and deeply personal book will enrich any reader, whether an interested non-specialist or, thanks to the superb introduction and copious annotations, a professional historian.”

Encounters with Luther

Theology

“This collection of essays is intended to provoke further thought and research on Luther and Luther’s ongoing legacy. It succeeds by assembling an international and ecumenical group of highly accomplished scholars who address a broad spectrum of topics with an eclectic variety of approaches, some traditional, others unexpected, but all engaging. Anyone interested in Luther will find in this book a deeply stimulating resource and a compelling case for the Reformer’s contemporary significance.”
