In 1517, a young monk in Germany posted a challenge to Roman Catholic orthodoxy that, through a confluence of social and political circumstances, altered the landscape of Renaissance Europe and ultimately changed the world. That monk, Martin Luther, and his impact are here commemorated and celebrated. Relying heavily upon Luther's own letters and texts, the book outlines the doubts and convictions driving the man and explores the social and religious framework of his time. With a measure of sometimes complex and arcane theology, the book is splendidly detailed and intent upon separating fact from the rich mythology that has arisen around its subject.
VERDICT Surrounding the 500th anniversary of Luther's famed Ninety-Five Theses, there has been a predictable glut of books on the Reformation. Enthusiastically read by the author, this one stands out. Highly recommended for students of history or religion. ["Anyone interested in religious history will thoroughly enjoy this readable biography": LJ 11/15/17 starred review of the Viking hc.]
