"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
