It is only quite recently that passions have really begun to cool within the Protestant and Catholic traditions over Luther's life and works. The present book attempts to take advantage of the recent cooling of temperatures to give a brief record of the life, describing and doing justice to the central religious issues, without being merely dissectionist on the one hand or partisan on the other. This book tries to stick to the facts whilst not holding itself stonily apart from the religious issues. - Introduction.
