Martin Luther started a reformation movement that revolutionized Europe in the sixteenth century. His far-reaching reforms of theological understanding and church practices radically modified both church and society in Europe and beyond. Paulson's introduction to Luther's thought, coupled with the illustrations, provides an engaging introduction to Luther's multifaceted self and the ideas that catapulted him to fame. Written by experts but designed for the nonexpert, the Armchair series provides accurate, concise, and witty overviews of some of the most profound Christian theologians in history. This series is an essential supplement for first-time encounters with primary texts, a lucid refresher for scholars and clergy, and an enjoyable read for the theologically curious. STEVEN PAULSON is Associate Professor of Systematic Theology, Luther SEMInary, St. Paul, Minnesota.

" It's a fun read as an introduction to Luther. Love the cartoons and ideas. Recommend it for anyone who is curious about Martin Luther. "
" This is basically Lutheranism for dummies or cliff notes to Luther's thoughts. "
" This book makes Lutheran doctrine more accessible for the most part though, by stringing out some of its explanations, it seems too dense in places. "
