StewartIn preparation for the 500th anniversary of the start of the Reformation; this is an outstanding explanation of the key documents that Martin Luther presented and began the movement. Wengert's discussion in his introduction is enlightening to those who might think they understand the history of the posting and publication of Luther's 95 Theses. The booklet is crisply and concisely written and allows the reader to better understand the workings of the late-Medieval church. It is a great guide for study groups tackling the subject.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
