Description Martin Luther - monk, priest, intellectual, or revolutionary - has been a controversial figure since the sixteenth century.
Luther, Conflict, and Christendom includes a detailed chronological chart..
His study links the Reformation to pluralism within western religion and to the coexistence of religions and secularism in today\'s world.
He shows that the Luther affair had a complex political anatomy which extended far beyond the borders of Germany, making the debate an international one from the very start.
Providing an accessible, highly contextual, and non-partisan introduction, Ocker says that religious Conflict itself served as the engine of religious change.
In this book, Christopher Ocker brings a new perspective to this topic, arguing that the different ways people thought about Luther mattered far more than who he really was.
Most studies of Luther stress his personality, his ideas, and his ambitions as a church reformer.
