“Perhaps you've met Martin Luther the theologian or biblical scholar. In this wonderful work, Michael Grzonka introduces us to Martin Luther the economic critic. By contextualizing and translating Luther's fiery text "Exhortation to the Clergy to Preach against Usury," Grzonka gives us a Luther who connects, at root, just economic practices and Christian identity. Readers will benefit not only from Grzonka's faithful translation of Luther, but also from his helpful glossary of terms and thoughtful list of discussion questions for each section. I heartily recommend this book for those seeking wisdom on faithful Christian life in the midst of our economically unjust times.”
