“On every page, readers at all levels of interest in and commitment to the Lutheran tradition will discover new insights into the historical, systematic, and practical aspects of the Lutheran confessions. Martin J. Lohrmann has produced a work of great ecumenical sensitivity that reflects the unique, down-to-earth approach used by Lutherans in confessing the Christian faith.”

For All the Saints

History & Biography

“It is exciting to see this little jewel of a book back in print because it will enrich a wide variety of pastors and scholars. For one thing, its pages show one of the premier historians of early Lutheranism at work: taking a modern question and answering it by employing a wide variety of underappreciated and even forgotten sixteenth-century sources. For another, the very wealth of information on the lively tradition of saints within early Lutheranism puts to rest the persistent myth that since the Reformation saints have no place in Christian piety and worship. Third, Kolb provides a rich analysis of the special role that ‘Martin Luther of blessed memory’ played in his immediate successors. Finally, those interested in liturgy and worship will find in this book’s pages important insights into how best to remember the saints of old within the framework of their witness to and faith in both the gospel and God’s providence. This is a must read for all who serve the saints of today!”

The Genius of Luther's Theology

Theology

“This eminently readable volume marks a high point in theological reflection on Martin Luther's contribution to today's church. Eschewing standard topical analyses that have often distorted Luther's thought, the authors--in essays focusing on God's twofold righteousness and God's powerful Word--have uncovered the very core of Wittenberg's theological revolution in a winsome, nondefensive manner. They thereby provide a radically new perspective on contemporary Christian faith and witness. This book is an invaluable tool for preaching, teaching, and learning the faith.”
