Call To Die

Then [Jesus] said to them all, "If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of Me will save it. (Luke 9:23-24, HCSB)

Luther's Anti-Semitism

"How should we regard Luther in light of things he wrote and said that were clearly sinful concerning the Jews?"

As someone who has written on Luther (see my book at the following link: https://www.westbowpress.com/BookStore/BookDetails/499317-The-Life-Teaching-and-Legacy-of-Martin-Luther ), I have occasionally received the question above.

The best concise resource I know in response to this question is the article "Luther's Jewish Problem" by Bernard Howard, found at the following link: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/luthers-jewish-problem/ 

Whereas there are aspects of Luther's teaching and legacy that should be honored and celebrated (and those are the focus of my book), mature readers should also think carefully (and biblically!) about the negative, even grossly sinful, assertions in some of his materials, particularly concerning the Jews.
