Recenzii
Shilling's account succeeds in arriving at balanced, but never insipid, conclusions about Luther's supreme contribution to the Reformation without ignoring the destructive aspects of his personality.
Entering a world saturated with Luther biographies following celebrations of the anniversary of the 95 theses, Heinz Schilling's Martin Luther has done far more than merely hold its own. This tome is an exceptional piece of scholarship produced by a brilliant scholar... On every page, the reader feels she is meeting Martin Luther. Schilling's knowledge of Luther's corpus and his times is comprehensive - the result being a biography truly worthy of celebration.
Probably the most comprehensive of recent Luther biographies.
Excellent.
Of the making of books about Luther this year there is no end. If your budget or your book tokens run to only one, get this ... Beautifully written, fluently translated, and with the critical apparatus thoughtfully confined to works in English, this is the only book of such breadth and depth that I have ever read and wished were longer. Schilling excels in disinterring Luther from later interpretations, pro and contra, and in understanding him in his context.
An essential entry into the field of titles to come out in honor of the Reformation's 500th anniversary
[A] major study by one of Germany's leading historians of early modern Europe.
Heinz Schilling's major new biography of Luther ... gives the most balanced account of Luther's life to date. Unlike so many biographers of Luther, Schilling is not a theologian or even a church historian by training. He is one of the leading German experts on late medieval and sixteenth-century German history, and he places Luther firmly in the context of his time: a rebel in an age of unheaval ...
