Reviews

a compact, useful aid and refresher for students and specialists...an excellent companion text to the standard introductory theological surveys of Luther's thought...a manageable and rewarding read. Gregory Graybill. The Journal of Theological Studies It is high time that we returned to the authentic Luther. Luckily for us, Kolb has taken on the task. His splendid book is far more than the convenient introduction to Lutheran theology that it purports to be... Thinking Luther's thoughts was a nuanced, detailed business. The great virtue of Kolb's book is that it takes us step-by-step, through the tortuous process. As an exploration of a troubled, fecund mind Kolb's study deserves the highest praise... [an] outrageously accomplished book. Johnathan Wright, Catholic Herald Books about Martin Luther abound, but good ones such as this do not ... Kolb pours a career of studying Reformation themes ... into this small book ... this volume offers a splendid overview of Luther for all those interested in Reformation thought. Timothy J. Wengert, Journal of Ecclesiastical History
