Luther for Armchair Theologians

Luther for Armchair Theologians

by Steven D. Paulson (Author)

Synopsis

Martin Luther started a reformation movement that revolutionized Europe in the sixteenth century. His far-reaching reforms of theological understanding and church practices radically modified both church and society in Europe and beyond. Steven Paulson's discussion of Luther's thought, coupled with Ron Hill's illustrations, provides an engaging introduction to Luther's multifaceted self and the ideas that catapulted him to fame. Written by experts but designed for the novice, the Armchair series provides accurate, concise, and witty overviews of some of the most profound Christian theologians in history. This series is an essential supplement for first-time encounters with primary texts, a lucid refresher for scholars and clergy, and an enjoyable read for the theologically curious.

Media Reviews
Perceptive. Sprightly prose and sensitivity to the turmoil of early twenty-first century living mark this exploration of Luther's world and way of thought. Luther emerges through Paulson's crisp, clear observations as a man for this season, for a world full of uncertainties and perplexities.
