Here I Stand Alife of Martin Luther

More about the book

This biography of Martin Luther, the 16th-century German theologian and religious reformer, provides a detailed look at his role in the Protestant Reformation. Bainton argues that Luther's struggle to reform the Catholic Church stemmed from his belief in the primacy of scripture and his conviction that salvation was achieved through faith alone, rather than through good works or the Church's sacraments. Drawing on Luther's own writings and contemporary accounts, Bainton paints a vivid portrait of one of the most significant figures in Christian history.
