Martin Luther: Visionary Reformer, Hendrix, Professor Scott H. Published by Yale University Press, 2015. 8vo – over 7¾” – 9¾” tall., 342pp., illustrated. In fine, unread condition.
Scott Hendrix is one of the leading Reformation scholars in North America.
The sixteenth-century German friar whose public conflict with the medieval Roman Church triggered the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther was neither an unblemished saint nor a single-minded religious zealot according to this provocative new biography by Scott Hendrix. The author presents Luther as a man of his time: a highly educated scholar and teacher and a gifted yet flawed human being driven by an optimistic yet ultimately unrealized vision of “true religion.”
