"The Bible is alive," declared Martin Luther, "it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold of me." The Protestant Reformation's most prominent leader was as evocative, articulate, and outspoken in his private speech as he was in public, and fortunately for posterity, some of his loyal followers took notes. This volume consists of excerpts from the great reformer's conversations with his students and colleagues, in which he comments on life, the church, and the Bible, in absorbing anecdotes that reveal his personality and wisdom. The text is based on the acclaimed English translation by the literary critic and essayist William Hazlitt. 224pp. 53/8 x 81/2.
