- Summary:
- More books have been written about Martin Luther than about anyone other than Jesus. What distinguishes this biography from others is its intended audience. This is a book for people, especially students, who wish to understand Martin Luther within the broader sweep of history. Luther was a theologian, and theological issues are crucial for understanding him. But the larger context of Luther's life and its historical significance also figure prominently in this account of his development, career, and thought.
