Martin Luther: A Very Short Introduction
Martin Luther: A Very Short Introduction
¥1,793
(税込)
  • Presents an overview of Luther's life, his writings, his world, and his legacy
  • Dispels some myths about Luther without destroying the elusiveness of character that keeps this historical figure fascinating
  • Discusses Luther's anti-Judaism and its place in Nazi propaganda
  • Includes chapters on his family and the political and cultural influences around him

This introduction presents Martin Luther as historians now see him. Instead of singling him out as a modern hero, the book emphasizes the context in which Luther worked, the colleagues who supported him, and the opponents who adamantly opposed his agenda for change. 

Scott H. Hendrix explains the religious reformation and Luther's importance, without ignoring the political and cultural forces that led the reformation down paths Luther could neither foresee nor influence. This Very Short Introduction pays tribute to Luther's genius, but also recognizes the self-righteous attitude that alienated contemporaries, offering a unique explanation for that behaviour.
 
 
REVIEWS:

"A useful new book." - Scott Hendrix, The Daily Telegraph

"This is a great addition to OUP's 'Very Short Introductions' series of books, which manages to pack a huge amount of fascinating and useful material into just over a hundred small pages. ... The author is clearly aware of a vast amount of scholarly discussion and secondary literature on Luther and has an enviable ability to summarise and critique it in short compass, and he does a good job of helping us appreciate the historical distance between us and Luther." - Lee Gatiss, Churchman
