Martin Luther

Martin Luther: Renegade and Prophet by Lyndal Roper is an excellent basic account of Luther.

For the whole era, Diarmaid Macculloch, The Reformation.

His Christianity, the First 3,000 years is excellent as well, but considering the scope, Ancient Greece and Israel to 2000s everything gets short shrift, even at 2,000 pages.

He is from a long line of Presbyterian preachers, although he says he's a lapsed Anglican himself. He gets real into the theology and art, music, and architecture of the era. It's a much more religious history than often gets told. I feel many liberals want to reduce the Crusades and Reformation to economics and politics, but he gets real into the ideas and faith too.

I think he's Oxford chair of the History of the Church.

c. scott dixon, the german reformation goes more into the implications of luther's actions than focusing solely on the man himself, so i'd think youd like it OP
