the Continuation Committee of the International Congress on Luther
Research. He is the
author of fifteen books and nearly one hundred articles, for the

a compact, useful aid and refresher for students and
specialists...an excellent companion text to the standard
introductory theological surveys of Luther's thought...a manageable
and rewarding read.
*Gregory Graybill. The Journal of Theological Studies*
It is high time that we returned to the authentic Luther. Luckily
for us, Kolb has taken on the task. His splendid book is far more
than the convenient introduction to Lutheran theology that it
purports to be... Thinking Luther's thoughts was a nuanced,
detailed business. The great virtue of Kolb's book is that it takes
us step-by-step, through the tortuous process. As an exploration of
a troubled, fecund mind Kolb's study deserves the highest praise...
[an] outrageously accomplished book.
*Johnathan Wright, Catholic Herald*
Books about Martin Luther abound, but good ones such as this do not
... Kolb pours a career of studying Reformation themes ... into
this small book ... this volume offers a splendid overview of
Luther for all those interested in Reformation thought.
*Timothy J. Wengert, Journal of Ecclesiastical History*
