Martin Luther and the Reformation

This monograph focuses on the Reformation. However, other social movements and events occurring simultaneously, such as the Renaissance, the geographical explorations and the invention of printing, also receive adequate attention. It is argued that the combined dynamics of these developments resulted in a release of liberating, creative and life-enhancing energies that transformed the Western religious life and worldview. An integral part of church history, this book is a must-have for teachers and students of theology.
