About this product
Product Information
A major new account of the most intensely creative years of Luther's career The Making of Martin Luther takes a provocative look at the intellectual emergence of one of the most original and influential minds of the sixteenth century. Richard Rex traces how, in a concentrated burst of creative energy in the few years surrounding his excommunication by Pope Leo X in 1521, this lecturer at an obscure German university developed a startling new interpretation of the Christian faith that brought to an end the dominance of the Catholic Church in Europe. Luther's personal psychology and cultural context played their parts in the whirlwind of change he unleashed. But for the man himself, it was always about the ideas, the truth, and the Gospel. Focusing on the most intensely important years of Luther's career, Rex teases out the threads of his often paradoxical and counterintuitive ideas from the tangled thickets of his writings, explaining their significance, their interconnections, and the astonishing appeal they so rapidly developed.Yet Rex also sets these ideas firmly in the context of Luther's personal life, the cultural landscape that shaped him, and the traditions of medieval Catholic thought from which his ideas burst forth. Lucidly argued and elegantly written, The Making of Martin Luther is a splendid work of intellectual history that renders Luther's earthshaking yet sometimes challenging ideas accessible to a new generation of readers.

Reviews
"Readable, free of jargon, and entertaining. . . . This is a book that teaches. Its value lies in presenting briefly and pointedly what is distinctive about Luther's theological development rather than repeating the partisan caricatures of his thought and role produced by later generations of both his detractors and his followers." ---Bradley A. Peterson, Reading Religion, "Richard Rex's new book, The Making of Martin Luther , is brilliant in exposing the hair-raising character of his theology." ---Melanie McDonagh, The Spectator, "Brilliantly written. . . . A remarkably sympathetic portrait of the Reformer, and . . . possibly the best concise study of Luther's early reforming career that I have read." ---Carl R. Trueman, First Things, "The quincentenary of Martin Luther's 95 Theses producecl a flurry of excellent books ín 2017 and Richard Rex's The Making of Martin Luther is another such example. The Making is not in any way a traditional biography. The major accomplishment here is that Rex offers readers a fascinating, concise, and provocative overview of arguably Luther's most important years from his penning the 95 Theses (1517) to his Ore the Bondage of the Witt (1525)." ---Christopher Petrakos, Anglican and Episcopal History, "One of the most interesting and original studies of Luther that I've read in my career. Combining deep learning and analytical rigor with a wry sense of humor, Rex breaks through the crust of endlessly repeated scholarly narratives and interpretative assumptions that have long been taken for granted. The Making of Martin Luther is an important book." --Brad S. Gregory, author of The Unintended Reformation: How a Religious Revolution Secularized Society, A quick read packed with lots of good information, The Making of Martin Luther is a nice jumping-off point for Luther scholarship, whether you're a believer/theologian or a secularist/agnostic/atheist., "Richard Rex's new book, The Making of Martin Luther , is brilliant in exposing the hair-raising character of his theology." --Melanie McDonagh, The Spectator, Readable, free of jargon, and entertaining. . . . This is a book that teaches. Its value lies in presenting briefly and pointedly what is distinctive about Luther's theological development rather than repeating the partisan caricatures of his thought and role produced by later generations of both his detractors and his followers. ---Bradley A. Peterson, Reading Religion, "Rex's nuanced account of Luther's theology, steeped in deep learning and wry humour, demands attention." ---Susannah Monta, Times Literary Supplement, Rex's nuanced account of Luther's theology, steeped in deep learning and wry humour, demands attention. ---Susannah Monta, Times Literary Supplement, Richard Rex's new book, The Making of Martin Luther , is brilliant in exposing the hair-raising character of his theology. ---Melanie McDonagh, The Spectator, "Rex's brilliantly written biography of Luther goes from the cradle not to the grave but to the immediate aftermath of the Diet of Worms. The thread he sees as giving spiritual and intellectual unity to this period of Luther's life is the quest for certainty. . . . Considering Rex's own passionate Roman Catholicism, this is a remarkably sympathetic portrait of the Reformer, and it is possibly the best concise study of Luther's early reforming career that I have read." ---Carl R. Trueman, First Things, "[Rex] puts forward a history of Martin Luther's progress to intransigent reformer so excellent that both admirers and critics of Luther's achievement must agree this is the best-researched, acutely observed, deeply pondered, and objectively reported account of his shattering of the Medieval Church as an uncontested European-wide phenomenon." ---Patrick Madigan, Heythrop Journal, "A remarkable piece of writing that will have an enduring influence. With shrewd and canny insights, powerful prose, and wit, Richard Rex offers a persuasive and provocative tour through the early years of the Reformation." --Bruce Gordon, author of John Calvin's "Institutes of the Christian Religion": A Biography, Rex's brilliantly written biography of Luther goes from the cradle not to the grave but to the immediate aftermath of the Diet of Worms. The thread he sees as giving spiritual and intellectual unity to this period of Luther's life is the quest for certainty. . . . Considering Rex's own passionate Roman Catholicism, this is a remarkably sympathetic portrait of the Reformer, and it is possibly the best concise study of Luther's early reforming career that I have read. ---Carl R. Trueman, First Things
