An original translation of the Table Talks from the Weimar Edition with commentary by Charles J. Daudert and Foreword by Dr. Paul L. Maier. This is the first and only authentic popular translation of the conversations around the Luther dinner table from original Medieval German and Latin sources. Although a limited number of the Weimar Edition Table Talks have been previously translated by Fortress Press/Concordia Publishing House, this edition of OFF THE RECORD WITH MARTIN LUTHER presents a complete picture of the Reformation and Luther family life. Other works currently in print are reprints of a discredited collection translated into English in the 17th Century which contain very few of the authentic Table Talks in this edition.
