Luther, vol. 1 of 6

"Luther, vol. 1 of 6" by Hartmann Grisar is the first installment in a detailed biography exploring the life of Martin Luther and his impact on the Protestant Reformation. It begins by recounting a thunderstorm that dramatically altered Luther's path. While studying at the University of Erfurt, a dangerous storm prompts the young Luther to make a life-changing decision and join the Augustinian Order. The book then looks at Luther's early life, his education, and the forces pushing him toward his religious vow, alongside his father's resistance to his newfound calling. Through Luther's experiences, it begins to reveal the inner struggles and strong will that shaped his theological views and set the stage for his future actions as a religious reformer.
