10 Very Good Books on the Reformation and Martin Luther
As we anticipate the celebration of the th year anniversary of the Reformation, I put together a “top ten list” of some of the best (and mostly recent) books on the history, theology, and legacy of the Reformation.
This list is, perhaps predictably, tilted a bit heavily to Luther and the Reformation in Germany. A different or supplementary list could be provided that gives the best books on Calvin, Zwingli, the Radical Reformers, etc. This list includes some books that cover the full breadth of the Reformation, but some are certainly Luther-centric.
Without further ado, here’s the list (not ranked by order of “best to least-best”).
1.Heretics and Believers: A History of the English Reformation by Peter Marshall (Yale University Press, ). This book is a terrific resource for understanding the English tributaries of the Reformation, beginning with John Wycliffe, the “Lollards” (those heretical “mumblers!”), and William Tyndale’s English translation of the New Testament. The prose is lively and the storytelling is rich–though reader beware: it gets dense at times in the historical weeds. With so many books focused on
Tarina alkaa
Marimekon tarina juontaa juurensa Viljo Ratian omistamasta Printex-nimisestä kangaspainosta, jolle hänen vaimonsa Armi Ratia hankkii painettavaksi uudenlaisia, rohkeita kuvioita. Armilla on kirkas ajatus tulevaisuudesta. Täytyy unelmoida, Armi sanoo. Ja pitää erottua muista, hän korostaa. Printexin ja myöhemmin Marimekon värikkäät kankaat painetaan käsin aina joulukuuhun asti.
Ensimmäinen muotinäytös
Printexin modernit kankaat herättävät ihastusta, mutta ihmiset eivät oikein tiedä, mihin niitä voisi käyttää. Niinpä Armi ja Viljo päättävät järjestää muotinäytöksen osoittaakseen, että kankaista voi hyvin tehdä vaikka vaatteita. Ensimmäiset Marimekko-vaatteet suunnittelee Riitta Immonen eri taiteilijoiden, muun muassa Maija Isolan, kangasmalleista. Näytös pidetään Kalastajatorpalla toukokuussa, ja se hurmaa yleisön täysin raikkaudellaan. Vaatteet myydään lähes suoraan mallien päältä. Muutama päivä näytöksen jälkeen Marimekko Oy merkitään kaupparekisteriin. Ensimmäinen oma myymälä avautuu Helsingissä seuraavana vuonna.

Ph.D. Candidate at the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Groningen, the Netherlands; Farmer and Rancher. INTRODUCTION Writing a short biographical article on a figure like Martin Luther in the contemporary context of celebrating years of the Reformation this year, is a particularly daunting challenge. It provides a particularly tricky task to produce something valuable for a Protestant audience obviously familiar with the great reformer, a man ranked by Time Magazine in as the 17th most influential human being in history Luther is renowned as the great church reformer, the theologian, the hymnist and Christian philosopher. However, his personal life, i.e. his existence as a man and his self-reflection upon his existence as an object of divine providence in his given historical context is one aspect that has always intrigued me of the great German Reformer. What kind of things was he really passionate about, what drove him, e
Martin Luther (November 10, – February 18, ) was a German monk who became the father of the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther criticised aspects of the Catholic Church and the concept of Papal infallibility. In particular, he believed that it was the Bible alone &#; and not priests or the Church &#; which had legitimacy for interpreting the word of Christ. Martin Luther also translated the Bible into German, making it more accessible to the general public.
