{"product_id":"the-work-of-faith-justin-nickel-9781978709638","title":"The Work of Faith: Divine Grace and Human Agency in Martin Luther's Preaching","description":"Many scholars assume that Luther advocates for a Christian life in which human beings are always passive recipients of God's grace as it is delivered in preaching, and mere instruments through which God works to serve their neighbors. The Work of Faith: Divine Grace and Human Agency in Martin Luther's Preaching offers a different reading of Luther's views on human agency by drawing on a fresh source: Luther's preaching. Using Luther's sermons in the Church Postil as a primary source, Justin Nickel argues that Martin Luther preached as though Christians have real, if secondary, agency in the lives they lead before God and neighbor. As a result, Nickel presents a Luther substantively concerned with how Christians lead their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Justin Nickel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1978709633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781978709638\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fortress Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Justin Nickel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43983322153215,"sku":"9781978709638","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_40341326-6590-4dd8-a60f-9bbb8915cb38.jpg?v=1683265955","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-work-of-faith-justin-nickel-9781978709638","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
