In A World Ablaze, Craig Harline introduces us to the flesh-and-blood Martin Luther....

In our postmodern, pluralistic world, there are plenty of genuinely spiritual people who consider Christ a way to heaven, or even their way to heaven, but who refuse to acknowledge Him as the one and only way for everyone.

In their estimation, anyone who stresses an exclusive, saving faith in Jesus Christ is at the least intolerant and, at worst, completely ignorant. Yet as Rod Rosenbladt shows in this booklet, there are numerous evidences that support the centrality and exclusivity of Christ. He draws on these here to affirm that even in the face of...

This volume contains selections from Martin Luther's most evocative and provocative writings, freshly translated, for the 21st century.

Jan Hus burned at the stake in 1415 for believing in the authority of the Bible over that of the Catholic Church. As he was burning, it is believed he said, “Today you will cook a goose,” for Hus means goose in Czech, “but 100 years from now, will come a swan that you will neither catch nor boil!” 102 years after Hus’ declaration, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the doors of the church in Wittenberg, starting the protestant reformation.

In addition, the biography...

The Bible describes a fallen world and fallen humanity, in which minds are darkened. We reject God, and suppress the truth about him. How, then, can we know him at all? In other words, what are the noetic effects of sin? During the Reformation, doctrines of total depravity and the effects of the fall on the whole person re-emerged, with consequent implications for epistemology. If minds are fallen, how can we expect to know anything accurately? The purpose of this study is to start to answer that question by looking at some of the epistemology we find emerging from the writings of John...
