The development of Martin Luther's thought has commanded much
scholarly attention because of the Reformation and its remarkable
effects on the history of Christianity in the West. But much of
that scholarship has been so enthralled by certain later debates
that it has practically ignored and even distorted the context in
and against which Luther's thought developed. In The Early Luther
Berndt Hamm, armed with expertise both in late-medieval
intellectual life and in Luther, presents new perspectives that
leave old debates behind. A master Luther scholar, Hamm provides
fresh insights into the development of Luther's theology from his
entry into the monastery through his early lectures on the Bible to
his writing of the 95 Theses in 1517 and The Freedom of a Christian
in 1520. Rather than looking for a single breakthrough, Hamm
carefully outlines a series of significant shifts in Luther's
late-medieval theological worldview over the course of his early
career. The result is a more accurate, nuanced portrait of
Reformation giant Martin Luther.
