MARTIN LUTHER
A very short introduction

This is a good introduction to the person and work of Brother Martin, keeping a balance between a historical narrative and theological exposition, and expressing the desire to understand Martin Luther in terms of his own setting.
Thank God for Martin Luther, and for the conditions on mainland Europe that made it possible for his Protest to take hold, and not (like the protests of Waldo, and Wyclif and Hus before him) to be largely snuffed out by the powers that be.
