"Edwards has...illuminat[ed] the reformer's thought and personality in a way that could never be achieved by studying the man's words alone. Future historians will identify Edwards's book as one of several that marked a turning point in Luther research. No one interested in the Reformation can afford to ignore it." -- American Historical Review "Edwards turns his attention to...understanding Luther's often vitriolic campaigns against opposing princes, Jews, the papacy, and others.... This work is one of solid scholarship and long gestation that seeks to understand without condemning.... More important, Edwards has raised a number of questions about the relationship across time of Luther's deeds, his words, and his world. Such is the mark of good history and of those who write it." -- Journal of Religion "Edwards has a lucid style and makes his points clearly.... His assessment of Luther's later years...should prove an invaluable guide to further creative pre-occupation with Luther right down to his darkest moods and most scathing attacks." -- Journal of the Canadian Church Historical Society "With this book Edwards moves into the front rank of American Luther scholars.... He wisely counsels moderns to understand the context of flailing words in the sixteenth century. Luther thought the world was ending. He came to see his movement in pessimistic terms. He struck out calculatingly and inexcusably, but sometimes understandably. This a cool, calm treatment of a frantic, hot subject." -- The Christian Century
