Canadian Luther Scholar Endorses CPH Edition of the Apocrypha

Martin Luther commented that the Apocrypha “were not equal to Scripture, yet useful and good to read.” This volume helpfully guides the reader in exploring how and why this is so. Useful historical explanations, wisely chosen excerpts from the prefaces of the Apocryphal books by Luther and Gerhard, helpful textual explanations and charts, and wise advice on the challenges and blessings for readers make this edition of the Apocrypha shine. This is a delightful study resource and devotional guide to complement one’s reading of Scripture.
