If there was one person who could be said to light the touch-paper
for the epochal transformation of European religion and culture
that we now call the Reformation, it was Martin Luther. And Luther
and his followers were to play a central role in the Protestant
world that was to emerge from the Reformation process, both in
Germany and the wider world. In all senses of the term, this
religious pioneer was a huge figure in European history. Yet there
is also the very uncomfortable but at the same time undeniable fact
that he was an anti-semite. Written by one of the world's leading
authorities on the Reformation, this is the vexed and sometimes
shocking story of Martin Luther's increasingly vitriolic attitude
towards the Jews over the course of his lifetime, set against the
backdrop of a world in religious turmoil. A final chapter then
reflects on the extent to which the legacy of Luther's
anti-semitism was to taint the Lutheran church over the following
centuries. Scheduled for publication on the five hundredth
anniversary of the Reformation's birth, in light of the subsequent
course of German history it is a tale both sobering and ominous in
equal measure.
