An ‘objective’ Martin Luther biography?

Hmmmm I knew of such once . . .

Long forgotten. Sorry.

Maybe Dr. E or friends do.

Dr. E? *laugh* Like I said, you have to agree on what the truth is before you can agree on what is ‘objective.’

What about Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther?

http://www.amazon.com/Here-Stand-Hendrickson-Classic-Biographies/dp/1598563335/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1245559168&sr=1-4

I read it 35 years ago, and only remember it vaguely. From the Amazon reviews, I assume it has a Protestant slant, but that doesn’t mean a book can’t give more than one side of a dispute.

One interesting quote from a review: “Bainton quotes Luther: “Faith is a living, restless thing. It cannot be inoperative. We are not saved by works; but if there be no works, there must be something amiss with faith.”

Another that sounds interesting is Luther: Man Between God and the Devil.

Good night, all!
