Opis

Saak re-interprets Martin Luther as an Augustinian Hermit, whose 95 Theses came as the culmination of the late medieval Reformation.

Recenzje

'This is an ambitious book that moves between general discussions of the era and the specifics of scholarship in Luther. Further, it ultimately delivers on its promise of offering a compelling view of late medieval Augustinianism, the diverse intellectual sources of Luther's own thought, and the unfolding of this in the narrative of Luther's transition from Brother Martin to the Reformer Luther.' Matthew Vanderpoel, Sixteenth Century Journal
