Author: Martin E. Marty
Title: Martin Luther
Description: Viking Penguin, 2004. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 199. Martin Marty professor, author, pastor, historian, and journalist is, in Bill Moyers s words, the most influential interpreter of American religion. In Martin Luther this man of unswerving faith, rooted in his own Lutheran tradition yet deeply committed to helping enrich a pluralist society, brings to powerful life the devout Reformation figure whose despair for a perilous world, felt anew in our own times, drove him to a ceaseless search for assurance of God s love. It was one that led him steadily to a fresh interpretation of human interaction with God as born solely from God s grace and not the Church s mediation and to the famous theses he posted at Wittenberg in 1517. Luther s persistence in this belief, and in his long battle with Church leaders embellished by rich historical background make Marty s biography riveting reading. Luther s obdurate yet receptive stance, so different from the travestied image of fundamentalism we currently face, restored the balance between religion and the individual. Martin Luther is at once a fascinating history, a story of immense spiritual passion and amazing grace, and a superb intellectual biography. ISBN: 9780670032723. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
