* Presents an overview of Luther's life, his writings, his world, and his legacy * Dispels some myths about Luther without destroying the elusiveness of character that keeps this historical figure fascinating * Discusses Luther's anti-Judaism and its place in Nazi propaganda * Includes chapters on his family and the political and cultural influences around him This introduction presents Martin Luther as historians now see him. Instead of singling him out as a modern hero, the book emphasizes the context in which Luther worked, the colleagues who supported him, and the opponents who adamantly opposed his agenda for change.Scott H. Hendrix explains the religious reformation and Luther's importance, without ignoring the political and cultural forces that led the reformation down paths Luther could neither foresee nor influence. This Very Short Introduction pays tribute to Luther's genius, but also recognizes the self-righteous attitude that alienated contemporaries, offering a unique explanation for that behaviour.Readership: General readers interested in Luther, the Reformation, Christianity and religion, as well as students of all these disciplines.1: Luther and the reformation2: Becoming a reformer3: The labours of reform4: Luther's Bible5: The new Christianity6: The political reformation7: From monk to family man8: Angels and demonsAfterwordChronologyGlossaryFurther reading
