Luther book shortlisted for top award

10 July 2018

by Amelia Dawkins

Pastor Mark Worthing’s book, ‘Martin Luther: A Wild Boar in the Lord’s Vineyard’, has been shortlisted for the 2018 Australian Christian Book of the Year.

Pastor Mark, who is currently serving Immanuel Lutheran Church, North Adelaide, said he was surprised when he learned of his nomination.

“It’s an honour just to be shortlisted,” Pastor Mark said.

“The book has been well-received and I think it’s good for the Lutheran Church because it raises awareness of Luther and the Reformation.”

‘Martin Luther: A Wild Boar in the Lord’s Vineyard’ tells the story of Luther’s eventful life in 32 short chapters. It was published just before the 500th anniversary of the Reformation last year.

Pastor Mark was inspired to write the book because he thought it would be good to circulate a more readable publication about the life of Luther, especially for those who don’t know much about him.

“So many other books have been very academic and people get lost, so I wanted to write a modern-style biography,” Pastor Mark said.

‘Martin Luther: A Wild Boar in the Lord’s Vineyard’ is one of 10 books shortlisted, with the winner to be announced at this year’s SparkLit Awards Night in Melbourne on August 16.

The Australian Christian Book of the Year Award recognises and encourages excellence in Australian Christian writing. It is given annually to an original book written by an Australian citizen.

‘Martin Luther: A Wild Boar in the Lord’s Vineyard’ is available to purchase online and at participating Christian bookstores.
