{"product_id":"martin-luther-visionary-reformer","title":"Martin Luther: Visionary Reformer","description":"A bold, insightful biography of Martin Luther\n\n\"[A] richly detailed portrait.\"—D.G. Hart, Wall Street Journal\n\n\"Even-handed and engaging. . . . A nuanced portrait of Luther as a complex person of many roles.\"—Marilyn J. Harran, Theological Studies\n\nThe sixteenth-century German friar whose public conflict with the medieval Roman Church triggered the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther was neither an unblemished saint nor a single-minded religious zealot according to this provocative new biography by Scott Hendrix. The author presents Luther as a man of his time: a highly educated scholar and teacher and a gifted yet flawed human being driven by an optimistic yet ultimately unrealized vision of “true religion.”\n\nThis bold, insightful account of the life of Martin Luther provides a new perspective on one of the most important religious figures in history, focusing on Luther’s entire life, his personal relationships and political motivations, rather than on his theology alone. Relying on the latest research and quoting extensively from Luther’s correspondence, Hendrix paints a richly detailed portrait of an extraordinary man who, while devout and courageous, had a dark side as well. No recent biography in English explores as fully the life and work of Martin Luther long before and far beyond the controversial posting of his 95 Theses in 1517, an event that will soon be celebrated as the 500th anniversary of the Reformation.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0300226373\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0300226373.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hendrix, Scott H.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
