Table Talk

Originally titled Divine Discourses, Martin Luther’s Table Talk contains a series of informal conversations Luther shared with his family, students and colleagues in his home. Throughout this text, Luther presents his beliefs boldly, giving an insight into his influential ideas on a range of topics from the bible and the church to the Imperial Diets he had to attend. The material in this book was so controversial that all copies of this book were ordered to be destroyed and even owning a copy was punishable by death. Fortunately a copy was found buried under a house in 1626.
