This treatise was discovered by Luther, who first brought it into notice by an edition which he published in 1516, of which he says: “And I will say, though it be boasting of myself, and ‘I speak as a fool,’ that, next to the Bible and St. Augustine, no book hath ever come into my hands whence I have learnt, or would wish to learn, more of what God and Christ, and man, and all things, are.” “A precious lump of pure gold in a flag of earth and stone.”
“This little volume which is brought out in antique style, is, apart from its intrinsic value, a curiosity of literature. It may be regarded as the harbinger of the Protestant Reformation. No fewer than seventeen editions of this book appeared in his lifetime, and up to the present day it has continued to be a favorite manual of devotion in Germany, where it has passed through certainly as many as sixty editions.”—Evening Traveller.
“I value it exceedingly, so vivid and so rich is it, on the great ideas of sin, and salvation through Christ.”—Congregational Herald.
“A most valuable, interesting, and instructive volume, upon the most vital points of Christianity.”—Lutheran Standard.
