"The Smalcald Articles" is a pivotal theological work authored by Martin Luther, one of the critical figures of the Protestant Reformation. This treatise became written in 1537 and is considered one in all Luther's most huge writings. The Smalcald Articles were named after the metropolis of Smalcald, Germany, in which a meeting of Protestant leaders took place to discuss spiritual topics. These articles had been intended to be a concise precis of Lutheran ideals and an announcement of faith, that may serve as a basis for cohesion some of the various Protestant factions. They cover vital theological topics, including the character of God, the doctrine of salvation, and the shape of the Church. Luther used "The Smalcald Articles" to emphasize key Reformation principles, consisting of justification by means of religion by myself, the authority of Scripture, and the rejection of sure Catholic practices and beliefs, just like the authority of the Pope. The record articulates Luther's belief that religion in Christ is the only method of salvation and that works alone can't justify someone earlier than God. While "The Smalcald Articles" did now not result in the hoped-for harmony amongst Protestant organizations, it remains a foundational text in Lutheran theology.

Over the course of his career, Luther H. Martin has primarily produced articles rather than monographs. This approach to publication has given him the opportunity to experiment with different methodological approaches to an academic study of religion, with updates to and different interpretations of his field of historical specialization, namely Hellenistic religions, the subject of his only monograph (1987). The contents of this collected volume represent Martin's shift from comparative studies, to socio-political studies, to scientific studies of religion, and especially to the cognitive science of religion. He currently considers the latter to be the most viable approach for a scientific study of religion within the academic context of a modern research university. The twenty-five contributions collected in this volume are selected from over one hundred essays, articles, and book chapters published over a long and industrious career and are representative of Martin's work over the past two decades.

North Korea is a country shrouded in mystery for most people. It brings to mind barbed wire, famine, and Kim Jong Il's nuclear shenanigans. This book touches on some of the negative side to the nation as well, but also focuses on what God has done in North Korea in the past and the new work He is doing there today. One of the greatest revivals in all of Asia took place in what is now referred to as North Korea (officially called the Democratic People's Republic of Korea). Now, over 100 years later, most Westerners think the church in North Korea has been destroyed. This couldn't be farther from the truth. There is a body of believers there that has held out for generations, even after years of persecution and attempts to destroy Christianity. On top of this, sparks of revival are flying all over the country as thousands of North Koreans quietly give their lives to Christ. How can this be? This is the story of those men and women of God, and their struggle in one of the darkest spiritual places on Earth. This is not another book about North Korean politics or man-made solutions for their problems. It contains the latest information on what God is doing in North Korea, as spoken by the North Koreans and Chinese missionaries themselves. Be prepared to see a side of North Korea you've never seen before.
