**Will the real Martin Luther please stand up? **
After five hundred years of examining the life of the "father of the
Reformation," we must surely know all there is to know about Martin
Luther. But is that true?
Did he really nail his Ninety-Five Theses to the church door?
Did he throw an inkpot at the devil?
Did he plant an apple tree?
Did his wife escape her convent in a herring barrel?
German radio and television journalist Andreas Malessa looks at the
actual history of Luther and concludes that many of the tales we know
best are nothing but nonsense.
Diving gleefully into the research, Malessa investigates many of the
falsehoods and fallacies surrounding the reformer, rejecting them in
favor of equally incredible facts. Full of humor and irony, this book
educates and entertains while demonstrating a profound respect for
Luther's life and mission.
If you're looking for the truth of the man behind the theses, come
discover his faith and influence--with the myths stripped away.
