The Hammer Of God

Rating:
Summary: Excellent presentation of basic doctrines
Review: This is simply the best religious fiction I've read from anyone in the Lutheran Church. While the author's three novellas were largely written to counter what Giertz perceived as rampant Pietism in the Church of Sweden, they also stand as superbly crafted tales having characters with which one can identify. This is one of the books I try to read at least on an annual basis.
