Martin Luther remains a popular, oft-quoted, referenced, lauded
historical figure. He is often seen as the fulcrum upon which the
medieval turned into the modern, the last great medieval or the
first great modern; or, he is the Protestant hero, the virulent
anti-Semite; the destroyer of Catholic decadence, or the betrayer
of the peasant cause. An important but contested figure, he was all
of these things. Understanding Luther's context helps us to
comprehend how a single man could be so many seemingly
contradictory things simultaneously. Martin Luther in Context
explores the world around Luther in order to make the man and the
Reformation movement more understandable. Written by an
international team of leading scholars, it includes over forty
short, accessible essays, all specially commissioned for this
volume, which reconstruct the life and world of Martin Luther. The
volume also contextualizes the scholarship and reception of Luther
in the popular mind.
