In "a magnificent study of one of history's most compelling and divisive figures" (The Wall Street Journal), Lyndal Roper investigates the leader of the Reformation-the movement that split Christendom and upended Europe for centuries-who was, at his core, a deeply flawed man full of contradictions. A distinguished historian of early modern Europe, Roper looks deep inside the heart of this singularly complex figure, and her magisterial new biography goes beyond Martin Luther's theology to investigate the inner life of the religious reformer who has been called "the last medieval man and the first modern one." By bringing us closer than ever to Luther himself, she opens up a new vision of the Reformation and the world it created and draws a full-blooded portrait of its founder. Book jacket.
