Martin Luther's Table Talk

Martin Luther’s Table Talk is a collection of over 900 statements Luther made during personal conversation with his friends and colleagues. The collection is organized into 48 topical sections and covers Luther’s thoughts on a wide variety of theological, personal and social issues. 

The original Table Talk manuscript was discovered by accident during a house renovation, after having been buried in the ground for safekeeping during the time of the book burning edict of Rudolphus II, who called for the destruction of all 80,000 copies of the book (at that time entitled Divine Discourses) and the death penalty for anyone in possession of it. It is a truly indispensable resource for anyone interested in the reformation and its founder.
