Reviews
Franz Posset illustrates Martin Luther's deep regard for Bernhard of Clairvaux as a major source for knowing the God of Scripture who comes to be made flesh in us through Jesus Christ. This book contains an ecumenical treasure trove of Bernhard's sermon points that empowered Luther to proclaim both the birth and cross of Jesus as the source for daily renewal of our lives in Christ. --Rev David R. Froemming, pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, author.
