Book Review: The Legacy of Luther

The Legacy of Luther

As we swiftly approach the five hundredth anniversary of what is marked as the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, there has been no shortage of books on Martin Luther. Regardless of how knowledgeable one may be with the monk and his ninety-five theses, this book does a masterful job of detailing his life, dissecting his thought, and demonstrating his legacy.

Sproul and Nichols serve as editors as well as contributors to this excellent treatment of the impact that Martin Luther had in the world, as we know it. Although a different scholar wrote each of the fifteen chapters, they combined to produce a very readable and enjoyable book.

I especially profited by how Luther interacted with the Five Solas of the Reformation (part two of the book). If you are interested in what all the fuss is about as we approach this milestone in human and church history, I recommend this book.
