For the cover, the illustrator was directed to picture Martin Luther as confident and resolute. To capture the expression and posture that we were looking for, I provided him with a model posing as Luther taken in a photo shoot which I directed. Before this book went into production, I visited many of the Luther sites in Germany and provided the illustrator with copies of my photos as reference material. First printed in 2004.
The interior design elements were found in old publications of Luther's writings in the Concordia Publishing House library. The inspiration for the paper texture and the aged coloring came from those old publications.
