Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Designed to coincide with the release of a major motion picture on Martin Luther's life, this book offers a compact, up-to-date, and accessible biography of the great reformer.

Nestingen combines his knowledge of Luther and Reformation history with his considerable storytelling skills to present this concise and compelling story of Martin Luther's life and times.

Information boxes, visual highlights, and excerpts from Luther's words extend the story and provide helpful historical reference points and commentary.

Here is a Luther biography for a broad range of readers — accurate, concise, engaging — a biography that appeals as well as informs.

Synopsis:

Readership General readers, including Lutherans; people who have seen the new film about Luther; church and school libraries; study groups

Synopsis:

Martin Luther: A Life tells the dramatic story of the renegade monk whose heroic personal struggle ignited a revolution and shook Christendom to its foundations. Through vivid anecdotes and lively historical descriptions, Martin Luther: A Life captures the turbulent times and historic events through which Luther lived as well as his profound vision of God. A fast-moving narrative, it shows how his stinging criticisms of the Christian church struck a deep and liberating chord in the German people and led to the momentous change we know as the Reformation. For all who wish to understand Luther the man, the rebel, and the visionary, James Nestingen's account also offers insight into Luther's momentous contributions to the Western world and his personal encounter with God, the Christian scriptures, and the relentless demands of his own conscience.
