Of the Christian’s relationship to the Bible, Luther said: “The Holy Scriptures require a humble reader who shows reverence and fear toward the Word of God, and constantly says, ‘[t]each me, teach me, teach me’”. It is no secret that Luther loved the Bible, and that his reformation was rooted it a critical-literal method of understanding the Bible’s message. Luther and the Bible explores Luther’s relationship with the Bible from both a scholar-pastor and personal-intimate perspective. Luther scholar Theophilus Stork, who made a career of isolating and explaining key aspects of Luther’s life, provides a welcoming and warm narrative about how Luther loved the Bible and used it to transform Christianity.

Theophilus Stork (1814–1874) is the author of Luther at Home, Luther’s Christmas Tree, Jesus in the Temple, and Children of the New Testament. He and his family were beloved leaders in nineteenth-century American Lutheranism, contributing significantly to the church in ministry and scholarship.

While the early stages of the Reformation focused on doctrinal issues and the abuses of the medieval church, Luther’s ideas also came to influence the social realm. His assertion of the universal priesthood of believers sanctified each person’s labor, and his emphasis on marriage and rejection of the monastery revolutionized the family in early-modern Europe. Luther, of course, married Katherine von Bora who is commonly known today simply as Katie Luther.

Specific anecdotes about Luther's and Katie's home life are few, but sources strongly suggest that the Luther home was vibrant, warm, and exceptionally loving. We know that his household was full of children and that the Luthers’ guests greatly appreciated their unmatched hospitality. Theophilus Stork’s little book, Luther at Home, adds narrative to what we know about Luther’s home life, displaying it as the realized ideal that shaped family life in Protestant households. Providing implicit social commentary in-line with classical Protestantism, this book examines how Luther and Katie lived their theology and in so doing created a home environment that emphasized love, grace, and joy.
