    About this audiobook

    A superb work of intellectual history, this slim volume by one of today's foremost theologians takes you through the mind and times of Europe's firebrand, Martin Luther. Deeply convinced that man and God could have a spiritual relationship unmediated by the pomp, offices, money and power of the Catholic Church, he strove ceaselessly to gain an understanding of how to obtain God's love in a perilous, desperate, and rapidly changing world. With the posting of his famous "95 Theses" on the church door in Wittenburg, he laid down a challenge to the official Church which would end in the vast split known as the Reformation, from which most modern Protestant denominations spring. The questions Luther raised with his characteristic obstinacy still bedevil us in our own time.

    • 5/5
      Very good introductory biography.
    • 4/5
      Noted historian of American religious history and prolific author Martin Marty provides a brief biography of Martin Luther in the Penguin Lives series. Marty provides an excellent introduction to the life of the church reformer for a broad audience, paying particular attention to Luther’s most influential ideas. The format of the short biography prevents any detailed examination of Luther’s work (more than 55 volumes of writings) and the complicated details of his evolving relationships with other religious figures. Still, Marty does an excellent job describing the contours of Luther’s conflicts with Rome, his difficult relationship with other reformers, and the political context that prevented religious authorities from quashing the dissent.
