Review: Martin Luther in His Own Words
"Martin
Luther in His Own Words" gives just enough contextual and explanatory
commentary before a number of selections of the reformer's works. I
would have appreciated, however, some explanation of the division and
organization of the book, which is set up into sections: Sola Fide, Sola
Gratia, Sola Scriptura, Sola Christus, Soli Deo Gloria. I didn't always
understand how selections fit into these categories, or what exactly
the categories entailed or meant. Topics actually addressed in Luther's
writings here include faith and works, the book of Romans, the
doctrines and practices of men versus the doctrine of God, and our duty
to God. I do recommend the book for anyone looking for some highlights
of Luther's writings.
