The first major biography of Martin Luther in English in many years, Luther: Out of the Storm responds to recent Reformation scholarship to assess Luther's impact on his own and later ages. This warts-and-all account provides a vivid picture of a complex and driven man--courageous, stubborn, rambunctious, vulgar, erudite, and opinionated. Luther: Out of the Stormis a masterful portrayal of the life of Luther--a man of tireless energy and total conviction, who changed Europe and, through Europe, the world.
