I had to read this for a class I'm taking on church history... and unfortunately, the translation I had was crap and impossible to read. I'm still not entirely sure what he's trying to say... fortunately, a few online summaries helped out a bit. Otherwise, stay away from the Henry Cole version......

I found this book very helpful in understanding the basics of Lutheran Theology on a much deeper level. I found that the overall layout of this book helped in the reading process over against some other versions of this book I have read.
