As profound as Martin Luther's ideas are, this giant of church history was concerned above all with practical instruction for daily Christian living.

There are even rare discussions of Luther's perspective on marriage and on Islam. As a result, "Harvesting Martin Luther's Reflections" is both a state-of-the-art discussion of Lutheran themes and an excellent introduction for newcomers to Luther's work.
