Get to know the man behind the Protestant Reformation with Selections from Luther’s Table Talk. Interested in more than Luther’s serious theological views, sixteenth-century Lutheran Reformer Johannes Mathesius compiled a collection of Martin Luther’s sayings into a volume titled Table Talk. Mathesius’ aim was to give readers the experience of dining and conversing with Martin Luther—quips, facetious remarks, and theological gems combined.
This collection, Selections from Luther’s Table Talk, contains special selections from Mathesius’ original volume, featuring Luther’s catechism, discourses, and intimate conversations—recorded by those who knew him well. Offering an intimate glimpse into the man behind the theology, this collection of his sayings are selected and arranged to make Luther more accessible to the masses.
