Abstract

This is the title of a 315-page book written in German (Luthers geistige Welt, 2d ed., 1953) by the Heidelberg church historian Heinrich Bornkamm, translated into English by Martin Bertram (professor of German at Concordia Senior College, Fort Wayne, Ind.), and published by Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis. Before analyzing the content of this volume the question why Bornkamm's book was made available to American readers deserves some consideration.
