Martin Luther’s Christmas Guide

Martin Luther’s conception of the Nativity discovered expression in sermon, track, and artwork. This lovely new reward version of a basic assortment combines all three. In thirty compelling Christmas excerpts from his sermons, Luther vividly portrays the human realism of the Nativity: Mary’s misery at giving start with no midwife or water; Joseph’s misgivings; the Clever Males’s perplexity; and Herod’s crafty. All through, Luther suggests the query: If we had lived in Bethlehem when Jesus was born, would we have now believed that this new child child was God in human type? And he reminds us that protecting Christmas is a year-around mission of caring for these in want. 9 elegant illustrations by Luther’s contemporaries-including 4 by famous engraver Albrecht Durer-capture timeless scenes from the Christmas story. And two of Luther’s lovely Christmas carols are included on the ultimate pages of the e book.
