DESCRIPTION

In the sixteenth century, Martin Luther started a reformation movement that revolutionized Europe and the history of the Christian faith. His far-reaching reforms of theological understanding and church practices dramatically changed both church and society in Europe and beyond.

In celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, professor Steven Paulson forwards A Brief Introduction to Martin Luther, an engaging, concise introduction to Martin Luther's life and the major themes in his theology. Quite familiar with the ins and outs of Luther's thinking, Paulson makes his weighty insights and peculiar emphases understandable to the modern reader. These are beliefs that go to the core of the Christian faith.
