Paragon of Excellence: Luther’s Sermons on 1 Peter by Dennis Ngien

Abstract

Nicholas Hopman here reviews Dennis Ngien's exploration of Luther’s sermons on 1 Peter from 1522 and his broader reflections on 1 Peter. Luther scholarship has concentrated on his use of Paul’s epistles to the near exclusion of his work on Peter’s. Ngien’s book brings 1 Peter into the discussion and finds considerable commonality between Luther’s use of Peter and Paul.
