Description
The Bible is an important book to Martin Luther, who was a leader in the Protestant Reformation. He even said that the Bible is alive and speaks to him. Luther was a great speaker, and he was able to explain his ideas clearly to others. Some of Luther's students and colleagues wrote down what he said in informal conversations. This book, called The Table Talk of Martin Luther, includes some of those conversations. In the book, Luther talks about different topics such as life, the church, and the Bible. The book was collected by Luther's close associates, Antony Lauterbach and John Aurifaber. An introduction by editor Thomas S. Kepler explains how the book was translated into English. This edition of the book is based on the translation by William Hazlitt, a famous writer.
