Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Luther: An Historical Portrait It will be said that this book comes post festum. It does, but the festum caused the book. The way in which on the occasion of the 4th centenary of Luther´s birth the "Reformer" was spoken of by almost all shades of Protestants showed clearly that the real Luther is little known in this country. The bulk of the sermons, speeches, lectures and newspaper articles delivered or written in praise of him made it evident that most of the speakers or writers derived their knowledge of him not from his own works, but from old legends or from admiring biographies, or perhaps from the tiny, tidy, revised and expurgated editions of the Tabletalk which were to be had at the railway bookstalls. Some friends suggested to me the idea of drawing a portrait of the Prophet of Wittenberg from his own works. The prospect of having to devote many months to going through his voluminous and frequently disgusting books was anything but cheerful, but I resolved to carry out the idea, in the hope of contributing a little towards vindicating historical truth. It will seem that there is a prima facie argument against the book I now present to the public, it will supposed that it has been written in a party spirit.
