Martin Luther: Saint and Sinner (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258033606)

Martin Luther: Saint and Sinner is a biography of the famous German theologian and religious reformer, Martin Luther, written by Theodore J. Kleinhans. The book explores the life of Luther, from his early years as a monk and his spiritual struggles to his eventual break with the Catholic Church and the Protestant Reformation that he sparked. The book also delves into Luther's personal life, including his marriage to Katharina von Bora and his struggles with depression and physical ailments. Kleinhans examines Luther's theological beliefs, including his doctrine of justification by faith alone and his views on the sacraments and the role of the church in society.Throughout the book, Kleinhans presents Luther as a complex and contradictory figure, both a saint and a sinner. He shows how Luther's passionate commitment to his beliefs often led him to engage in harsh rhetoric and conflict with his opponents, while also highlighting his deep devotion to God and his desire to reform the church from within.Overall, Martin Luther: Saint and Sinner offers a comprehensive and engaging portrait of one of the most influential figures in Christian history, exploring both his strengths and weaknesses and the enduring impact of his ideas on the world today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
