Luther : A Biography

---

Overview: The author's biography is an affectionate, unvarnished portrait of Martin Luther at the height of his powers. We are introduced to Luther in his fifties, 'a grand personality in its own right, one of the most pungently alive in all history. Without quibbling over the legends surrounding the younger man, 'the author says, 'I would go straight to the Wittenberg of 1535, where the source of those legends, an articulate and prolific professor, was probably the most influential figure in Renaissance Europe.' The author gives an authentic impression of the Augustinian monk-theologian-pastor struggling to keep the church together. The bombastic outbursts against the papacy are here amid clear evidence of the man's self-doubt and sense vulnerableness. The author also gives, for the first time in print, a careful description of Luther's final year, and his death. To the end this is an account of a man captive to conscience and to faith in God.
