Table Talk of Martin Luther

About this book

The Table Talk records Martin Luther's conversation at home — with students, guests, and family — taken down by those who lived in his household and published after his death. Luther speaks freely on Scripture, prayer, the devil, marriage, and the affairs of the church, in turns weighty, earthy, and humorous. It is the most intimate portrait of the Reformer that survives.
