Like Roland Bainton's biography of the generation before, Kittelson's volume is the one known by thousands of students, pastors, and interested readers as the biography that gave them the details of this dramatic man and his history. The accolades were well deserved. Fair, insightful, and detailed without being overwhelming, Kittelson was able to negotiate a "middle way" between the many directions of historical research and present a more complete chronological picture of Luther than many had yet portrayed. For this revised edition, Hans H. Wiersma has made an outstanding text even better. The research is updated, and the text is revised throughout, with an emphasis on retaining the tone and pace of the original. Additionally, the volume has an entirely new map and image program, updated bibliographies, improved timelines, and other features to enhance the reading experience. It's a great volume, greatly improved. 606 $aTheology, Doctrinal$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aLutheran Church$xDoctrines$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aReformation$zGermany$vBiography 607 $aGermany$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTheology, Doctrinal$xHistory 615 0$aLutheran Church$xDoctrines$xHistory 615 0$aReformation 676 $a284.1092 700 $aKittelson$b James M.$01245481 702 $aWiersma$b Hans H.$f1964- 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136712903321 996 $aLuther the Reformer$92888607 997 $aUNINA
