Luther, vol. 4 of 6

Luther, vol. 4 of 6

His most elaborate and systematic biography ... is not merely a book to be reckoned with; it is one with which we cannot dispense, if only for its minute examination of Luthers theological writings.The Athenum (Vol. I). The second volume of Dr. Grisars Life of Luther is fully as interesting as the first. There is the same minuteness of criticism and the same width of survey. The Athenum (Vol. II). Its interest increases. As we see the great Reformer in the thick of his work, and the heyday of his life, the absorbing attraction of his personality takes hold of us more and more strongly. His stupendous force, his amazing vitality, his superhuman interest in life, impress themselves upon us with redoubled effect. We find him the most multiform, the most paradoxical of men.... The present volume, which is admirably translated, deals rather with the moral, social, and personal side of Luthers career than with his theology.The Athenum (Vol. III). There is no room for any sort of question as to the welcome ready among English-speaking Roman Catholics for this admirably made translation of the first volume of the German monograph by Professor Grisar on the protagonist of the Reformation in Europe.... The book is so studiously scientific, so careful to base its teaching upon documents, and so determined to eschew controversies that are only theological, that it cannot but deeply interest Protestant readers.The Scotsman. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
