The development of Martin Luther's thought has commanded much
scholarly attention because of the Reformation and its remarkable
effects on the history of Christianity in the West. But much of that
scholarship has been so enthralled by certain later debates that it
has practically ignored and even distorted the context in and against
which Luther's thought developed. In The Early Luther Berndt Hamm,
armed with expertise both in late-medieval intellectual life and in
Luther, presents new perspectives that leave old debates behind. A
master Luther scholar, Hamm provides fresh insights into the
development of Luther's theology from his entry into the monastery
through his early lectures on the Bible to his writing of the 95
Theses in 1517 and The Freedom of a Christian in 1520. Rather than
looking for a single breakthrough, Hamm carefully outlines a series of
significant shifts in Luther's late-medieval theological worldview
over the course of his early career. The result is a more accurate,
nuanced portrait of Reformation giant Martin Luther.
