Title: Fruit for the soul
Description: Given a life spent in scholarship and controversy, it is easy to forget how much energy Martin Luther devoted to helping the common person understand and take comfort from God&#x2019;s word. This commitment extended to even the most challenging of biblical texts, and nowhere is this more apparent than Luther&#x2019;s work on the lament psalms. Difficult to understand, and perhaps even more difficult to implement in life and devotion, the lament psalms played a key role in Luther&#x2019;s thought. More importantly, the lament psalms were for Luther an essential part of the Christian&#x2019;s understanding of the life of faith. In this volume, Dennis Ngien helps contemporary readers engage Luther&#x2019;s commentary on the lament psalms. What Luther intended for the education and encouragement of everyday Christians, Ngien unpacks and illuminates for life in the twenty-first century. (Publisher).
