Martin Brecht, leading Luther Scholar, is Professor of Reformation
and Modern Church History at the University of Muenster,
Germany.
James L. Schaaf is Professor of Church History at Trinity Lutheran
Seminary, Columbus, Ohio, and translator of numerous Fortress Press
books.
Brecht provides a comprehensive study of the consolidation of the Reformation in the middle period of Luther's active life. He treats both Luther's personal life and the development of Lutheran doctrine and practice exhaustively. The reader is left with great admiration for Luther's talents as a theologian, translator, and church builder. This sympathetic but realistic portrait of Luther belongs in all academic and seminary libraries with a serious interest in Luther, Lutheranism, or the Reformation despite its great length, since it is worth savoring by all interested readers.-- Susan A. Stussy, Barton Cty. Community Coll., Great Bend, Kan.
