The Foolishness of God: The Place of Reason in the Theology of Martin Luther

The NPH Classics series consists of popular titles published by Northwestern Publishing House throughout its history. Each title has been reprinted for our Classics series and reflects the works that have consistently been in the greatest demand over the years.

How does reason fit into the Christian worldview? Does faith need to be made reasonable, or is it reason that needs to be made faithful? Martin Luther, the famous Protestant reformer, certainly had specific beliefs about this topic. But did his views align with Scripture? Dr. Siegbert Becker examines this topic, paying particular attention to Luther's viewpoint, to leave the reader with a thorough understanding of how reason meshes with faith.
