Summary "Life of Luther" by Gustav A. Just is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life and impact of Martin Luther, a critical figure in the Protestant Reformation, emphasizing his childhood, education, significant theological contributions, and the broader ecclesiastical context of his times. The book likely covers not only Luther's personal journey but also the tumultuous shifts in Christianity that his actions catalyzed, exploring themes of faith, authority, and reform. The beginning of "Life of Luther" sets the stage for understanding the early Christians and the environment that preceded the Reformation. It outlines the persecutions faced by the apostles and records the spread of Christianity following Jesus' ascension, illustrating the fervent dedication of early believers to their faith amidst grave dangers. This historical context is crucial for understanding Martin Luther's later actions, as he emerges from a backdrop of intense religious devotion and conflict, ultimately leading to his transformative role in challenging the Roman Catholic Church's practices, particularly concerning indulgences and the nature of salvation.
