Beskrivning

The four years from the Wittenberg disputation of 1517 to the Diet of Worms in 1521 provide one of the most dramatic stories in human history. In those years a young theological tutor emerged from obscurity to disrupt Western Christendom and to refashion a large part of it. They were years of prodigious activity for Luther himself, and there can be no true understanding of the Reformation apart from the writings, some long, some quite short, which came from his pen during those years. Lee-Woolf has done great service to the study of Luther by translating the most significant of these writings. Introductions and explanatory notes make clear their historical context. The student will find them invaluable. Lee-Woolf's lively and virile translation makes the authentic Luther step out of the pages, and brings the reader close to great events which are still formative in the life of the Church and the world.

Mer om författaren

Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a German priest and theologian whose intellectual revolt against certain practices of the Church led to the Reformation. He is regarded as the primary founder of Protestant Christianity, and as one of the pivotal figures of Western civilisation. Bertram Lee-Woolf was educated at the Universities of Edinburgh, Halle, Marburg and Berlin and at the United Independent College, Bradford. He was Lecturer and Professor at New College, London and Extension Lecturer at the University of London and Oxford. Other titles by Martin Luther published by James Clarke: The Bondage of the Will Commentary on St Paul's Epistle to the Galatians

1. "The two-volume Reformation Writings of Martin Luther is a significant contribution to Reformation studies, bringing together the German Reformer's groundbreaking writings and ideas that ignited the Reformation in Europe. These volumes are an indispensable addition to the libraries of scholars, students, and enthusiasts of church history, especially the Reformation. Highly recommended!" - Marc Daniel Rivera In KristiyaKnow, March 2024.
