A Theology to Live by: The Practical Luther for the Practicing Christian

This book assumes that Luther's doctrine, however "abstract" some might consider parts of it to be, is practical in its entirety. From creation, to the fall, to the life under the cross, Preus shows that the story of salvation is knit together as one garment, so that we rejoice in the fullness of that which we have received. The application to Christian living gives people an immediate resource for direction, one not dictated by arbitrary cultural notions of "practicality" but directed by the Word of God.
