Synopsis

This book offers a new scholarship approach to study Martin Luther's reformation and the social, political, and religious forces that were at play during the 16th century. The author argues that Luther's theology was every bit as 'radical' as many historians and theologians have suggested; that Luther's theology only appears more moderate due to the restraint and deliberate catholicity of the Lutheran Church both during Luther's life and up until the 19th century. This book will force scholars and theologians to reconsider the relationship between Luther's theology and the Lutheran Church, and to think more carefully about the boundaries of 'orthodoxy' and the speed of theological development.
