And Take They Our Life: Martin Luther’s Theology of Martyrdom

By Bryan Wolfmueller

Martin Luther had a robust theology of martyrdom, calling it the “pattern of the true Christian life.” Luther expected a martyr’s death, and was ready for such a death. This essay digs into Luther’s theological understanding of Christian suffering and death, and preaches Christ to fainting hearts, so that we too would joyful face persecution, suffering, and even death, knowing that Jesus waits for us.

In this book, Pastor Wolfmueller explores Luther’s understanding of faith that pushes through suffering and arrives, with joy, on the threshold of eternal life.
