Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Ecclesiastical Review, Vol. 34 With the possible exception of the bibliography of Goethe, there is probably none in the German language which in the magnitude of its scope, the minuteness of its detail, the exhaustiveness of its research, and the fatuity of its hero-worship, approaches that of Martin Luther. Not a phase of his character but has been psychologically balanced, not an act of his life but has been graphically portrayed, not a thought of his mind but has been devoutly interpreted; and when we come to the signal event with which his name will ever be identified, superlatives jostle each other in mad riot to give it a fit expression. To his biographers - and their name is legion - his sacrosanct person looms up in such colossal size as to dwarf into the proportion of puny whipsters his most illustrious contemporaries. The imaginative range, the poetic suggestiveness, the glowing eulogy, the vivid grouping, which usually characterize the historical portraiture of the Reformation, invariably segregate the central hieratic figure of Luther, to the skimping, almost exclusion, of the less favored worthies who played anything but an inconspicuous part in that historic but melancholy event. Of the human side of the character they may give us occasionally faint glimmerings or dim shadowings, but they are so detached, fragmentary, and elusive, that the image in the end always remains emblazoned in gold-fringed clouds of highly wrought sentiment and effusive adulation.
