Martin Luther contributed extensively to the sixteenth century 'debate
about women' with his writings on women and related subjects such as
marriage, the family and sexuality. In this volume, Merry
Wiesner-Hanks and Susan Karant-Nunn bring together a vast selection of
these works, translating many into English for the first time. They
include sermons, lectures, pamphlets, polemic writings, letters and
some informal 'table talk' recorded by his followers. The book is
arranged into chapters on Biblical women, marriage, sexuality,
childbirth and witchcraft, as well as on Luther's relations with his
wife and other contemporary women. The editors, both
internationally-known scholars on Reformation and women, provide a
general introduction to each chapter, and Luther's own colourful words
fuel both sides of the debate about whether the Protestant Reformation
was beneficial or detrimental to women. This collection will make a
wide range of Luther's works accessible to English-speaking scholars,
students and general readers.
