Life of Luther
Gustav A. Just
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
This short biography of Martin Luther, by Gustav Just, who taught at Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran School, St. Louis, is a standard resource for students, young and old. The first five chapters give a swift moving, succinct overview of church history up to Luther’s time, and the final two chapters deal with the church after Luther’s death. Martin Luther is presented in a favorable, but objective light and his influence appreciated as the primary leader of the Reformation. - Summary by Larry Wilson (3 hr 32 min)

Reviews
Charles M
Great! It gives you historical context before Luther is born, and then, for a few centuries after he passes away. Quite enjoyable, listening.
The One Nerd
