Martin Luther: His challenge then and now by P. Finton LyonsCover of Martin Luther

Lyons writes about the history, life and aftermath of the event when Martin Luther boldly brought attention to issues in the church by nailing 95 Theses to their door. This book analyzes the relationship he had with the church and the Vatican then, and what it would be in present time. Martin Luther doubles as a memoir and critical analysis of Luther’s message: a Christian faith must be led by the Bible that has all the answers and not solely the church leaders.
