http://...Hi Andrew,<br /><br />I sort of answered this here:<br /><br />http://www.aomin.org/aoblog/index.php?itemid=2265<br /><br />For a good biography, Heiko Oberman's Luther: Man Between God and the Devil is a good read. Bainton is good, but can be a little dull. <br /><br />The Luther book I most recommend isn't really a biography:<br /><br />Gerhard O. Forde's, On Being A Theologian Of The Cross: Reflections On Luther's Heidelberg Disputation, 1518. <br /><br />Ignore the dull title- it is really my favorite book on the nuts and bolts of Luther's theology. It's a short read that packs a powerful punch. I lent my copy to a friend, and he says it bulldozed him.James Swanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16136781934797867593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19795707.post-61273705102516590812010-02-05T23:33:27.544-05:002010-02-05T23:33:27.544-05:00Mr. Swan,
What would you recommend to someone who...Mr. Swan,<br /><br />What would you recommend to someone who was looking for an even handed, accurate biography of Luther? I have become interested in learning more about the man. I do have a book entitled "Luthers Works, Vol.21". It's his commentary on the sermon on the mount and the magnificat. It's pretty good, but i am interested in a biography. What say you?Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15056210915546208869noreply@blogger.com
