Summary "Martin Luther" by Carl E. Koppenhaver is a biography written in the mid-20th century that delves into the life and legacy of one of history's most influential theologians and reformers. The book traces Luther's journey from his humble beginnings as the son of a miner in Eisleben, Germany, through his theological education and his monumental role in the Protestant Reformation, primarily focusing on his conflict with the Catholic Church and his major works that defined Protestant ideology. The narrative covers key events in Luther's life, detailing his transformation from an anxious monk seeking assurance of God's love to a bold reformer who challenged the practices of the Catholic Church, particularly concerning indulgences. It highlights significant moments such as the posting of his Ninety-Five Theses, his defense at the Diet of Worms, and the impacts of his teachings on the Christian faith. Koppenhaver also explores Luther's personal life, including his marriage to Katharina von Bora and how his domestic experiences shaped his views on faith and community. Throughout the biography, readers gain insight into Luther's profound theological ideas and the lasting effects they had on Christianity and Western society.
