"It is refreshing to turn to Alister McGrath's study,Luther's Theology of the Cross, and to see how a work whichis uncompromisingly theological in its focus can be rigorouslyhistorical throughout ... a work of impressive scholarshipdistinguished at the same time by a clarity of expression all toorare in books of this kind ... McGrath's magisterial study ...brings the most traditional of themes into fresh historical focus."Journal of Ecclesiastical History. "A study of the first rank." Choice. "Is a major study of Luther's theology, and ought to beconsulted by everyone teaching the Reformation, and by Lutherscholars in particular. An impressive achievement at the level oftheological sophistication that has established McGrath as one ofthe pre-eminent Luther scolars. Its arguments are very tight and itdisplays a complete mastery of Luther scholarship."
