The Unholy Trinity: Martin Luther Against the Idol of Me, Myself, and I

It's the same sinful, human pitfall throughout all of time: we look inward to worship the "self" instead of Jesus Christ. Anything we fear, love, or trust more than the true God is, after all, our god.

Beginning with Martin Luther's key insights on the sin of idolatry, The Unholy Trinity: Martin Luther Against the Idol of Me, Myself, and I unmasks contemporary idol worship and its futility. Only when the walls of manmade security are broken down can people hear the Gospel as good news—the true God gives us by grace all the good things we have vainly sought to provide for ourselves.

Luther's powerful, unparalleled ability to get to the heart of human sin helps readers see through the lie of self-sufficiency and focus the application of Law and Gospel in every area of Christian ministry, from evangelism to preaching and catechesis to pastoral care.
