Friends of the Law: Luther's Use of the Law for the Christian Life
Charges of forgery, heresy, legalism, and immorality turn on the question of whether Martin Luther taught a third use of the Law for the Christian life. For the past sixty years, well-meaning scholars believed they settled the question with dire consequences.
Friends of the Law sets forth a completely new body of evidence that shows how little Luther s teaching was understood. This new book looks at the doctrine of the Law and invites a new consensus that could change the way Christians view the Reformation and even their daily walk with God.

I thought this was a descent book that defended all three uses of the Law according to Luther. I would recommend it to anyone who wants a historical survey on the uses of the Law in Christianity. It seems though that the author needed to get his dig in on LGBTQ folks with one paragraph in the conclusion, which is a shame. Other than that part, I would recommend this book.
