It is a vision that might have seemed outlandish at the outset of his philosophical career, but is now beginning to command respect throughout the philosophical guild.

James Orr\kerning0\f1\fs17\par}Luther's Meditations on the Gospels, edited and translated by Ronald H. Bainton, is not only a theologically rich expositional book on the Gospels but also an invaluable work in Reformation studies. This volume clearly shows the brilliant theological insights of the German reformer.
