Summary
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. Paulson's introduction to Luther's thought, coupled with the 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 nonexpert, 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. STEVEN PAULSON is Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Luther Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota.

Luther confronted flawed religious notions and practices of his time, drawing from scripture and his unique insights. This was a moving look at the ideas Luther put forth, thus changing history and interpretations of the Bible and the role of Christ himself. I personally benefited greatly from my time listening to this discussion. I am able to better situate my own stance on the importance of Christ, given the elaborate points Luther struggled to convey to those in power. This is an essential book on Luther's stance on faith and works, forgiveness and the proper role of the church.
