Luther Discovers the Gospel, Uuras Saarnivaara

This small little book from the 1940s is a response to the Luther research of the time saying different things that misrepresented what Dr. Martin Luther actually wrote and taught.

The people that Mr. Saarnivaara was responding to had Dr. Luther speaking like a Roman Catholic or like a protestant of the radical time. This, the author explains, has to do with who Dr. Luther was responding to at any given time. As well, the other Luther scholars had Luther discovering the Gospel before he actually did or after he actually did. So, in this book, Dr. Saarnivaara runs through the history and events that led to Dr. Luther discovering the Gospel through St. Paul's letter to the Romans and the lectures at the University of Wittenburg and all the history connected to this.

All in all, a wonderful explanation of these events for those who want to learn more about the great Reformer.
