Lives and Writings of the Great Fathers of the Lutheran Church

If you love historic theological and devotional treasures from the Reformation era and Age of Orthodoxy (1517-1700), you've probably run into names that sound foreign and unfamiliar.

The Lives and Writings of the Great Fathers of the Lutheran Church is an introductory handbook that's like a meet-and-greet with historic churchmen whose work and insight still impact us today, even though their name is just a whisper. Each section features a full bibliography of primary sources in English translation, plus a select bibliography of German or Latin works. Dig into the little-known life story and taste a sampling of writings for each notable figure.

Now's your opportunity to get to know the chief confessional Lutheran pastors and theologians of the 16th and 17th centuries, beyond simply Martin Luther.
