We are approaching the end of 2017 and the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation. Before we let the clock run out on the celebrations, I want to share with you a few books that have been very helpful to me in my understanding of the importance of the Reformation and others that provide a good overview of the doctrine of the Reformers. - Here I Stand - This is a classic biography of Martin Luther. Well-written and easy to read, Bainton provides insight into the life of the Luther family.
- Luther on the Christian Life - Carl Trueman looks at Luther's life from a theological perspective. Written recently, this book helps the reader to understand how what Luther believed shaped his life.
- The Mighty Weakness of John Knox - Doug Bond brings to life the salty character of the Scottish reformer John Knox. This book is written at a popular level, which lends itself to using it for family devotions.
- The Five Solas - Edited by Matthew Barrett, this is historical overview of the five doctrines that unified the magisterial reformers. Specially helpful is the volume on grace alone.
- 9marks Journal - Several articles on the Reformation.
These are only a few titles that may prove helpful for you to grow in your understanding of the Protestant Reformation. http://olympiabp.blogspot.com/2017/12/a-last-reformation-post.html | | Send olympiabp blog feed to OBPC Podcast | | |
