Publisher's Synopsis
As it is in any army, soldiers are issued weapons and are taught to familiarize themselves with them. Furthermore, they are trained extensively in order to use them well. The Christian community is often depicted in Scripture as soldiers in the army of the Lord. They also have been issued a weapon, the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. One must prepare himself to use it properly.
The Bible claims to be inspired of God; therefore, it is authoritative for all believers. It was used masterfully by Jesus and His apostles. Furthermore, Martin the reformer wielded it extensively and as a results pivotal changes were made in Church history. Finally, Martin the activist was heavily influenced by the Bible, using it consistently and effectively in the movement that he was called to. He expertly handled the sword to convict and prick the conscious of a Nation.
