What is Martin Luther : A Concise History of His Life and Works about?

Martin Luther was so troubled by the sale of indulgences (pardons for sins granted by the Pope) that, in 1517, he nailed ninety-five theses to the doors of the church and the castle at Wittenberg. This act began one of the most momentous periods of change in history: the Reformation. So much has been written on Luther that anyone with no prior knowledge wishing to find out about him is bound to be confronted with the question 'where do I start?' This book is an introduction, succinct and readable, but historically sound. It covers or summarises Luther's major works and the main events of his life.;The late medieval world -- Brother Martin -- The Reformation discovery: here I stand -- The handmaiden of theology -- Church and state, princes and peasants -- Controversies: Anabaptists, Erasmus, Zwingli and the Anfechtung -- The Bible, catechisms and the Augsburg confession -- The Bible teacher: The New Testament -- The Bible teacher: The patriarchs -- The Bible teacher: Psalms and the prophets -- Dinner with the Luthers -- Progress and setbacks of the Reformation -- Controversial last years -- Gone is the charioteer of Israel.
