In inclusive and contemporary translations, this volume introduces the reader to the rich complex of issues that Luther contributes to the history of spirituality

Written for the quadricentennial birthday of Luther, the book describes his pastoral style.

Excerpt from Luther as Spiritual Adviser Leader of the Reformation as an untitled pastor, with all Germany for' his parish, may not only serve to bring out into clearer View the wonderful versatility of the great man, and furnish a needed correction in the prevailing estimate of his char acter, but may also indicate to some a much neglected field of Christian activity in our own age, an age in which temptations are varied in form and multiplied in power, and in which the occupants of pulpit and pew too often plead the pressure of official duties, absolutely trifling com pared with those of Luther, as exempting from the primary obligations of Christian brotherhood.

Luther provides a clear exposition of the state of German politics on the eve of the Reformation. Dr Mullett concentrates particularly on the evolution of Luther's thought and its central preoccupation with re-aligning the church's theology with that of the New Testament.
