True Faith in the True God meets the need for a clear and concise introduction to the life and teachings of the great church reformer, Martin Luther. After a brief overview of his life, the book devotes chapters to Luther's thoughts on several key areas of Christian faith and life, including:

  • the knowledge of God
  • church and sacraments
  • the Scriptures
  • marriage and parenthood
  • vocations

Author Hans Schwarz incorporates quotations from Luther's own writings to show how Luther's insights have relevance for all Christians today. With questions for reflection and discussion, True Faith in the True God can be used as a study resource for individuals, church groups, or college and seminary classes.
