Martin Luther : the man who rediscovered God and changed the world

Martin Luther The man who rediscovered God and changed the world

Eric Metaxas

Sound recording - 2017

"On All Hallow's Eve in 1517, a young monk named Martin Luther posted a document he hoped would spark an academic debate, but that instead ignited a conflagration that would forever destroy the world he knew. Five hundred years after Luther's now famous Ninety-five Theses appeared, Eric Metaxas...paints a startling portrait of the wild figure whose adamantine faith cracked the edifice of Western Christendom and dragged medieval Europe into the future...Luther's monumental faith and courage gave birth to the ideals of liberty, equality, and individualism that today lie at the heart of all modern life."--Container.

Review by Library Journal Review

In 1517, a young monk in Germany posted a challenge to Roman Catholic orthodoxy that, through a confluence of social and political circumstances, altered the landscape of Renaissance Europe and ultimately changed the world. That monk, Martin Luther, and his impact are here commemorated and celebrated. Relying heavily upon Luther's own letters and texts, the book outlines the doubts and convictions driving the man and explores the social and religious framework of his time. With a measure of sometimes complex and arcane theology, the book is splendidly detailed and intent upon separating fact from the rich mythology that has arisen around its subject. -VERDICT Surrounding the 500th anniversary of Luther's famed Ninety-Five Theses, there has been a predictable glut of books on the Reformation. Enthusiastically read by the author, this one stands out. Highly recommended for students of history or religion.
