Abstract

It is impossible to know Luther without reading his sermons. It is impossible to understand Luther's theology without feeling the impact of his exposition of that theology in his preaching. And there is perhaps no better example of Luther's preaching than the Church Postil sermons. To read these sermons is to appreciate Luther as a man, as a preacher, as a theologian, as an exegete, and as a leader of men.
