They combine marvelous insights with inspiring calls to action that are so characteristic of the great reformer: "The resurrection consists not in words, but in life and power."

A biography of the German monk who led the Protestant Reformation in Europe from its beginning in 1517 until his death in 1546.

In his Christmas sermons, Martin Luther stripped away all fables and legends to the Christmas tradition and, instead, preached a simple message supported by the text of Scripture. In so doing, Luther taught that God prefers to come to the simple, to people who are doing what the Scriptures teach. And, more importantly, that Jesus came to lay down his life for our salvation.
