Martin Luther: Visionary Reformer

4.12 (124 ratings by Goodreads)
A bold, insightful biography of Martin Luther

[A] richly detailed portrait.D.G. Hart, Wall Street Journal

Even-handed and engaging. . . . A nuanced portrait of Luther as a complex person of many roles.Marilyn J. Harran, Theological Studies

The sixteenth-century German friar whose public conflict with the medieval Roman Church triggered the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther was neither an unblemished saint nor a single-minded religious zealot according to this provocative new biography by Scott Hendrix. The author presents Luther as a man of his time: a highly educated scholar and teacher and a gifted yet flawed human being driven by an optimistic yet ultimately unrealized vision of true religion.
 
This bold, insightful account of the life of Martin Luther provides a new perspective on one of the most important religious figures in history, focusing on Luthers entire life, his personal relationships and political motivations, rather than on his theology alone. Relying on the latest research and quoting extensively from Luthers correspondence, Hendrix paints a richly detailed portrait of an extraordinary man who, while devout and courageous, had a dark side as well. No recent biography in English explores as fully the life and work of Martin Luther long before and far beyond the controversial posting of his 95 Theses in 1517, an event that will soon be celebrated as the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.
