Meet Martin Luther:

He was the most influential man of his day. The movement that began with his posting of the Ninety-Five Theses reshaped Europe, redirected Christian history, and recovered the truth of God’s Word. Five hundred years later, what is Luther’s legacy? In this volume, R.C. Sproul, Stephen J. Nichols, and thirteen other scholars and pastors examine his life, teaching, and enduring influence. Meet Martin Luther, the mercurial Reformer who, out of love for the truth and the desire to bring it to light, set the world ablaze.

Endorsement

"This book is a timely reminder that the church of our generation needs to be reformed anew. We desperately need someone like Luther to lift the banner of the gospel high, to shake worldly evangelicals out of their blind spiritual stupor, and to declare war on the devil in Christ's name." - JOHN MACARTHUR, from his foreword
