Overview

In Luther and His World Graham Tomlin examines the central figure in the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century. He explains Luther’s background and helps the reader to understand the process leading up to his rebellion against the late medieval church. This vivid account brings to life the world of the early reformers as well as their battles and disagreements over the way forward for the new church. Tomlin presents a complex mix of history, theology, translation, biography and good storytelling, while offering an assessment of Luther’s significance for, and his contribution to, western culture and Christianity.
