If you are looking for something to add to your summer reading list, look no further than “Here I Walk” by 2002 Luther Seminary alum Andrew Wilson. In “Here I Walk” Wilson reflects on the thousand mile journey he and his wife Sarah Wilson took in 2010. Tracing the footsteps of Martin Luther’s pilgrimage from Erfurt to Rome, the Wilsons spent seventy days traveling across Europe.
“Here I Walk” blends the story of the Wilsons’ travels with theological and historical discussion. Along the way, readers meet the people and places that the Wilsons encountered on their pilgrimage. “Here I Walk” also contains reflections on the past 500 years of Christian history with a consideration of the ecumenical significance of the Reformation.
Scott Hendrix says, “A richly descriptive and beguiling journey. On Luther’s walking trail to Rome, past and present collide and shower the reader with sparks of local color and empathetic reflections on religion, pilgrimage, nature, daily life and the people who lived it–how they have changed after five centuries and what has endured. Highly recommended.”
