Abstract

A clergyman's working library is a good measure of the man. In the first four volumes of Lehre und Wehre may be found a series of 22 articles, some of them lengthy, in which Walther discuss the books that he considers essential. He does not say so directly, yet it is implied that these are the books that Walther found most useful in his own sermon preparation. It is a significant fact that his long list of books (most of them in the Latin language), does not contain a single book of sermons other than Luther's Kirchen- und Haus-Postille.
