I have to say that I have really enjoyed what I have been reading. It is both challenging, fun to read (for theology letters), and it gives a good insight into the man Hermann Sasse. Sasse has a way of writing that is filled with insight, has some strong Lutheran theology (even though it may be different from today's theology), but shows a wonderful insight into history.
The book is divided into really two parts. The first are contributions from people who knew Sasse and have received his letters and the second part are Sasse's letters. As much as I enjoyed reading the insights from the church leaders, I did think it was a bit heavy in the beginning. I wanted to get into Sasse's letters right away after reading just a few of the insights and there were 19 insights to get through.
I did enjoy that through the letters, there are themes and historical contexts to bring the reader up to date where we were in history and what Sasse was addressing. I found myself skipping to themes I wanted to read about first.
Personally, I did not know who Sasse was, but after reading this, I am glad I "met" him through his letters. Great read.… (mehr)
