Summary |
What was Martin Luther's teaching regarding death? How did Luther counsel those facing death-to meet it with acceptance, or resistance, or both? Using rhetorical analysis of important Luther texts, this book examines how Luther offered comfort to those who were facing their own death or who were coming to terms with the death of loved ones. |
