Features: Colorful Humanistic Series. This book attempts to express Luther's life, ideas, and contemporary significance in an accessible and vivid way. It does not overemphasize the results of contemporary Luther studies but incorporates them into the text. The author hopes this book will inspire readers to engage with Luther personally. The writings of many medieval and Renaissance writers can be both obscure and tedious to read, but Luther is different. His mastery of language, abundant imagination, and the straightforwardness of a Saxony man make his works engaging even when delving into the most complex theoretical aspects of late medieval thought.
