Luther’s Pastors

"[A]n excellent, careful study of hitherto unexamined Reformation terrain…The author’s quest inspired her to wade through weeds and to peer through dusty windows into the dark interiors of ruined Saxony and Thuringian church buildings. One longs for similar explorations of the pastoral Reformation in other territories."—L. J. Reith, The Sixteenth Century Journal

"This fine little book stands deservedly alongside the recent work of Gerald Strauss in opening up new and challenging areas of research."—R. W. Scribner, Journal of Ecclesiastical History

"[A] very informative and readable book, providing a comprehensive review of the various factors involved in development of the early Lutheran church at the parish level in Ernestine Saxony."—Kenneth A. Strand, Seminary Studies

"A concise and interesting picture of early evangelical pastors."—Eric Lund, Church History
