This is the real Luther—startling and unique—with the legendary additions of centuries torn away.  Not a History, Luther is the first book in the English language to bring the whole panoramic of Luther’s life and struggles before the non-specialist reader.  

To a great degree in his own words, the much misunderstood Reformer presents here the faith that shattered the Middle Ages.  

This volume presents two fully developed viewpoints.  The first is the outward impression Luther made on his enemies.  Reproduced here in excellent translation, we see what they thought of this terrible heretic whom everyone through but Dr. Eck hesitated to engage in debate.
