Editorial Reviews
This volume is certainly a fine example of historical scholarship this is an incredibly useful work, and will be useful to any scholar who has interest in Luther and his historical context.--Harrison Perkins,
Anglican and Episcopal History
Oxford University Press's series of handbooks has established itself as a go-to resource for high-quality, up-to-date treatments of scholarly topics across a wide range of academic disciplines, and this volume on
Martin Luther's Theology is a worthy edition to the series... One of the most
interesting features of the volume --and one with which it departs most clearly from other volumes in the series--is the inclusion of parallel essays offering different perspectives on two critical topics which remain hotly contested in the field of Luther studies: the question of continuity and
discontinuity with late medieval thought, and the ever-contentious matter of justification by faith.--
Reading Religion
...[A]n illuminating overview of the state of Luther scholarship today...
The Oxford Handbook of Martin Luther's Theology will be a useful aid for those who seek to navigate the ocean of Luther's theological contribution, traverse the jungles of subsequent Luther-reception, and draw constructive
lessons from both for the enactment Christian faith in today's world. --
Books at a Glance
For both learned scholars and novices in Luther studies, this handbook may be the best introduction to Luther's theology available... [T]his is a very fine and extremely useful handbook. --
Church History and Religious Culture
