The Great Works of God

Herberger (1562-1627), a Lutheran pastor in Fraustadt (now Wschowa Poland), at the turn of the 17th century, preached through the books of the Old Testament from Genesis through Ruth, producing devout meditations on the Scriptures. "These he regarded rather like the linen cloths that wrapped the infant Jesus in the manger, and traced his Lord in every little wrinkle" (from the translators preface). This is the first time Herberger's work is available in English.
