Synopses & Reviews
Many of the historical images of Martin Luther are of a man by himself. But the Friar of Wittenburg did not stand alone. Central to his work was a small group of trusted friends. Luther's first stirrings of revolt were within the friendly precincts of his mentor John von Staupitz, and the friar's last words were to Justus Jonas, who had been with him at the Diet of Worms. In Martin Luther's Friends, Noel C. LeRoque details the relationships Luther had with his supporters -- those who knew him, understood him, believed in him, and helped kindle the Reformation.
