Martin - God's Court Jester: Luther in Retrospect

In the sea of Luther studies this volume stands out as one of the best available in English. It is a condensed retrospective of the most significant Reformation research of the last decade and it is clearly written with verve insight and humor. -- CHOICE Gritsch has provided us with a full-scale one-volume biography of Luther. The work is meticulously documented and the bibliography at the end will alone warrant the price of the book. -- Roland H. Bainton This book will be an invaluable source of information for students of the Lutheran Reformation. Ecumenists will find in its pages a great resource in their efforts to deal with issues that have been church - divisive. -- Carl J. Peter Catholic University of America
