Out of the Storm WILSON, DEREK
United Kingdom Cornerstone 2007 0091800013 / 9780091800017 Hardback
both book & dust jacket are in very good condition 8vo - from 7 ¾" tall to 9 ¾" tall. Martin Luther changed Europe and, through Europe, the world. It was he who finally exposed the myth of a unified Latin Christendom, in fact only held together by crusades, heresy hunts, Inquisition, and priestly magic. Though not the first radical thinker to challenge papal pretensions and the doctrines they were founded on, by his defiance Luther created the biggest cause celebre of the age. But this renegade monk did not just split Europe into rival Protestant and Catholic camps. By urging Christians to read and interpret the Bible for themselves, he gave a religious boost to that emancipation of the individual we associate with the Renaissance. By putting men and women in charge of their own destiny he made a cultural impact which is incalculable. This first major biography in English for many years, by leading historian Derek Wilson, responds to recent Reformation scholarship to assess Luther's impact on his own and later ages. This warts-an-all study gives a vivid picture of a complex and driven man - courageous, stubborn, rumbustious, vulgar, erudite, self-opinionated but a man of tireless energy and, above all, total conviction. For his achievements we can admire him.
In his failings we can identify with him. Luther remains perpetually fascinating.
