Synopsis

“Luther asserted that the doctrine of justification by faith alone is the article on which the church stands or falls, and that this issue touches the very core of the biblical teaching of salvation.” —R.C. Sproul———Today, Martin Luther is known as the man who stood against popes and emperors in defense of the gospel. What drove this lone German monk to defy the Roman Catholic Church? It wasn’t arrogance or ignorance. Luther knew what it meant to live in the darkness of unresolved guilt. Once he discovered that his acceptance before God is a gift received by faith alone in the merits of Christ alone, Luther was set free, and he would not rest until the light of this truth went out to the world.In this book, Dr. R.C. Sproul guides us through several crisis moments in the life of Martin Luther that led to his recovery of the gospel revealed in Scripture. Justification by faith alone was a liberating truth for Luther and the other Protestant Reformers, and it is good news for us to cherish today.

Goodreads review by Matt

This little booklet is like listening to an old Sproul lecture. If you have listened to him teach on Luther before much of this will be review. There really wasn’t any new content. And there are no footnotes or references for what he says. It seems like he just sat at the computer one day and starte......more

Phenomenal. This was, perhaps, the simplest, most concise, and most accessible short format description of Martin Luther and the reformation.
