Description: This introduction presents Martin Luther as historians now see him. Instead of singling him out as a modern hero the book emphasizes the context in which Luther worked the colleagues who supported him and the opponents who adamantly opposed his agenda for change. Scott H. Hendrix explains the religious reformation and Luther's importance without ignoring the political and cultural forces that led the reformation down paths Luther could neither foresee nor influence. This Very Short Introduction pays tribute to Luther's genius but also recognizes the self - righteous attitude that alienated contemporaries offering a unique explanation for that behaviour. About THE Series: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket - sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts analysis perspective new ideas and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
