Beck oHG, München, 2013"-- t.p. verso. Includes bibliographical references (pages [545]-578) and index. Translated from the German. Part one: Childhood, education, and first years as a monk, 1483-1511 -- Part two: Wittenberg and the beginnings of the Reformation, 1511-1525 -- Part three: Prophetic confidence, but temporal failure, 1525-1546 -- Epilogue: Failure and success: Luther and the modern world. No other German has shaped the history of early-modern Europe more than Martin Luther. In this comprehensive and balanced biography we see Luther as a rebel - but not as a lone hero - and as a soldier in a mighty struggle for the universal reform of Christianity and its role in the world. The foundation of Protestantism changed the religious landscape of Europe, and subsequently the world, but the author chooses to show not simply as a reformer, but as an individual. In his study of the Wittenberg monk, the author gives the reader a rounded view of a difficult, contradictory character, who changed the world by virtue of his immense will. 20170728.
