Martin Luther's Christmas Book

Rating:
Summary: Meditations on the Christmas Story
Review: This short book contains Martin Luther's insights into the events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ. The descriptions of the people of the story are concise yet complete. While the Christmas scriptures are familiar, Luther's commentary makes Mary, Joseph, Herod, the Wise Men and the shepherds come to life.

Each section begins with an illustration, four by Albrecht Durer.

This gem of a book can serve as a meditation guide for the Advent season. It is a worthwhile addition to the Christian's bookshelf.
