Life Of Luther

The Life of Luther by Julius Koestlin is a comprehensive biography of the German theologian and religious reformer Martin Luther. The book provides a detailed account of Luther's life, from his birth in 1483 to his death in 1546. Koestlin explores Luther's early years as a monk, his theological studies, and his eventual break with the Catholic Church. The author also delves into Luther's role in the Protestant Reformation and his impact on the religious and political landscape of Europe. The book is written in a scholarly style and includes extensive footnotes and references to primary sources. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and work of Martin Luther and the history of the Protestant Reformation.Luther had now become possessed with a burning desire to refute, by means of the truth he had newly learned, the teaching and system of that School-theology on which he himself had wasted so much time and labour, and by which he saw that same truth darkened and obstructed. He first attacked Aristotle, the heathen philosopher from whom this theology, he said, received its empty and perverted formalism, whose system of physics was worthless, and who, especially in his conception of moral life and moral good, was blind, since he knew nothing of the essence and ground of true righteousness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
