Description:  John Luis Nuelsen's detailed biography tells the story of the great Church reformer Martin Luther from birth to death. Readers are introduced both to the circumstances of Luther's remarkable life as well as the major tenets of his belief, the basis for his protest against the Catholic Church and the foundation that he lay for Lutheranism and the Protestant Church. Told in a clear style, Nuelsen's account is a great introduction to the life of one of the most important figures of the Western tradition.
