Almost made me become a Lutheran. Only I don't think most Lutherans today would measure up to the brilliance and pastoral wisdom that the mighty ML had. This volume is chalked full of great insights and gleanings from the Scriptures. Literally, every time I would turn my Kindle on to read it, three or four grace-nails would pierce my heart and mind. I'm still a committed Calvinist, but I think Luther gets my money for being such an amazing cardioanalytical pastor. I really look forward to reading volume two.

I really enjoyed reading the works of Martin Luther and I doubt he was ever accused of pulling his punches. His "The Papacy at Rome, An Answer to the Celebrated Romanist at Leipzig" was a joy to read. People just don't write like that anymore.

This book also contains his "Ninety-Five Theses" written in 1517 and his "Treatise on Good Works".

I tried to imagine what it would have been like to have read his works at the time of the Reformation and the upheaval within Christendom that it caused.

I think I will be searching out additional copies of his writings as well as books on the individual himself.
