The development of Martin Luther's thought was both a symptom and moving force in the transformation of the Middle Ages into the modern world. Geographical discovery; an emerging scientific tradition; and a climate of social change had splintered the unity of medieval Christian culture; and these changes provided the background for Luther's theological challenge. His new apprehension of Scripture and fresh understanding of man's relation to God demanded a break with the Church as then constituted and released the powerful impulses that carried the Reformation. Luther's vigorous; colorful language still retains the excitement it had for thousands of his contemporaries. In this volume; Dr. Dillenberger has made a representative selection from Luther's extensive writings; and has also provided the reader with a lucid introduction to his thought.
