Book Descriptions:
"We think of Martin Luther as a great reformer, preacher, theologian, and writer of oceanic breadth and depth. But he was also a compelling master of the spiritual life. In this engaging study, Robert Kolb shows how Luther's spirituality is rooted in the metanarrative of God's words and deeds conveyed through the sacred Scriptures. A major contribution both to Luther studies and to spiritual theology."
--Timothy George, Beeson Divinity School; general editor, Reformation Commentary on Scripture

"Martin Luther was a great church leader and storyteller. Robert Kolb is a great Luther scholar and churchman. Here we have the dream combination, as Kolb offers an interpretation of Luther's theology that brings the Reformer's thought into dialogue with contemporary theology and church life. A must read for all who, like me, have learned so much from both men over the years."
--Carl R. Trueman, Westminster Theological Seminary

"A thoughtful and engaging survey of how Luther used biblical narrative to understand Christian life and to admonish, encourage, uplift, and direct his listeners and readers. Kolb broadens and deepens our knowledge of Luther as theologian, exegete, and pastor."
--Mary Jane Haemig, Luther Seminary

"Robert Kolb has once again written a superb study of Martin Luther that opens new avenues for understanding the thought of the Reformer. The book is sensitive to current analyses of narrative theology and profoundly immersed in the thought-world of Luther, adding significant insight to the discussion of themes in Luther's theology such as Law and Gospel and the two kinds of righteousness."
--Richard A. Muller, Calvin Theological Seminary

"Provides an expert and engaging account of how the Wittenberg reformer sought to cultivate a rich sense of Christian identity in his contemporaries through narrative, in both his teaching and preaching of the Word of God. Valuable for historians, theologians, and literary scholars alike."
--Ronald K. Rittgers, Valparaiso University

"In this fine book Robert Kolb outlines an approach to the moral life that is neglected in Luther studies: that Luther employed biblical storytelling as a way to form the moral imagination and thereby strengthen and enrich the Christian life."
--Robert D. Benne, Center for Religion and Society, Roanoke College
