Essential Reading
5By KenMillerTime123John MacArthur wrote a book called "Slave" to describe the Christian life. Luther wrote a book called "Christian Liberty" to describe the Christian life. Wow! How far have we departed from the Reformation tradition! Evangelical Christians must start reading Luther again if we wish to preserve the purity and simplicity of the gospel for future generations. This is a must read for every Christian, or for any scholar seeking to understand the paradox that Christians are completely free, yet willing servants of all. Luther was a master of using paradox to provoke deep contemplation of truth.Amazing Revelation!
