It is easy to forget how often Luther's concerns turned toward helping the common person understand and take comfort from God's word. In this volume, Dennis Ngien helps contemporary readers engage Luther's commentary on the lament psalms. Difficult to understand, and perhaps even more difficult to implement in life and devotion, the lament Psalms play a key role in Luther's thought, and Dennis Ngien's careful explanation of them and their use rewards the reader
Dennis Ngien is professor of systematic theology at Tyndale University College Seminary and research professor of theology at Wycliffe College, University of Toronto. He is the author of several books, including Gifted Response (2008), and Luther as a Spiritual Adviser (2007).
