Excerpt from The Facts About Luther We have reached another century-mark in the his tory of the Protestant Church. Four hundred years ago, on All Saints' Eve - the Hallow E'en Of our days - the young Professor of Sacred Scripture in the University of Wittenberg attached ninety-five proposi tions, or theses, to the University bulletin-board on the portals of the Old Castle Church Of the town. Historians and theologians, both Catholics and Pro testants, have viewed that act in many ways. To some it was a defiance hurled at the immoral conditions Of Europe, a gage thrown down at last, after several cen turies of spiritual conflict, for Rome to pick up or to be branded as a cowardly antagonist of German as pirations, of German love and devotion for pure doc trine, for pure moral living. To others, it was only an incident - ah incident, it is true, which was to set Europe ablaze within five years - but still an incident, which might have been seen and soon forgotten, had not the temporal condition Of Europe been ready for the outbreak which followed it. Both sides admit that the Christian faith had then fallen upon evil days, but both sides have since torn away every vestige Of hero worship from the militant figrre Of the man who cen tered Europe, political and religious, around himself at the Diet Of Worms, three years afterwards. Both sides have yielded much for and against him in the discussions, the polemics, the attacks, the accusations, which have swirled around him since. The Protestant religious world, although deprived Of valuable auxiliaries in the Sturm und Drang Of the conflict which is now throwing the world into confusion, will not allow this Fourth Centenary of Luther's Theses to pass without an attempt to rehabilitate their great hero, despite the results Of modern scholarship.

It is an accepted conclusion nowadays among the best students of the Protestant Rebellion of the sixteenth century that there are "two Luthers-the Luther of panegyric, of romance, and fiction, and the Luther of history and fact. The former appears in the pulpit, in the Sunday school, and in partisan biographies; the latter may be discovered from a careful study of his writings and those of his contemporaries, but above all from his private letters, of which former devotees of Luther would only publish what they thought to his credit, garbling or suppressing the rest." These words, quoted from a rare little tract on Luther, written nearly thirty years ago by a Prelate of the Church, who was one of the foremost Reformation scholars of that day, may well serve as the keynote of this present work with its powerful contrasts between the Luther of fact and the Luther of fiction. They also sum up the result of all the studies made in the life and works of Martin Luther since the last great international celebration of 1883-the four hundredth anniversary of his birth at Eisleben. There are many who still remember the interest and zeal evidenced by the Protestant churches throughout Christendom, when that fourth centenary was given a world-wide recognition. It was a celebration with far-reaching effects; with fatal effects, indeed, for the hero-worship so dear to Luther's followers. In Germany, especially, scholars and publishers vied with one another in acclaiming him as the man to whom the modern world owed most, if not all, of its present liberty. He was hailed as the restorer of the truer evangelical life, as the spiritual liberator of the human race; and from that time down to the present, no ordinary reader has been able to keep pace with the output of Lutheran literature.Let us consider some of Luther's attitudes towards the Bible: "Of the Pentateuch he says: "We have no wish either to see or hear Moses." "Judith is a good, serious, brave tragedy." "Tobias is an elegant, pleasing, godly comedy." "Ecclesiasticus is a profitable book for an ordinary man." ... "Esdras I would not translate, because there is nothing in it which you might not find better in Aesop." "Job spoke not as it stands written in his book; but only had such thoughts. It is merely the argument of a fable. It is probable that Solomon wrote and made this book." ... "The book of Esther I toss into the Elbe. I am such an enemy to the book of Esther that I wish it did not exist, for it Judaizes too much and has in it a great deal of heathenish naughtiness." "The history of Jonah is so monstrous that it is absolutely incredible." ... He says: "The first three (Gospels) speak of the works of Our Lord rather than of his oral teachings: that of St. John is the only sympathetic, the only true Gospel and should be undoubtedly preferred to the others. In like manner the Epistles of St. Peter and St. Paul are superior to the first three Gospels." The Epistle to the Hebrews did not suit him. "It need not surprise one to find here," he says, "bits of wood, hay and straw." The Epistle of St. James, Luther denounced as "an epistle of straw." "I do not hold it," he said, "to be his writing, and 1 cannot place it among the capital books.'· He did this because it proclaimed the necessity of good works contrary to his heresy. "There are many things objectionable in this book," he says of the Apocalypse; "to my mind it bears upon it no marks of an apostolic or prophetic character .... Every one may form his own judgment of this book; as for myself, I feel an aversion to it, and to me this is sufficient reason for rejecting it.""

"Martin Luther inspired strong emotions not only in his religious and political opponents, but also in those who knew him. People either loved or hated him, and even today he can elicit intense emotional reactions. Always a controversial figure, his influence is nonetheless pervasive, particularly in Germany where he has left an indelible imprint on the culture, musical, linguistic, material, and visual. This book reflects on the way Martin Luther carefully crafted an image of himself, how others portrayed him for their own purposes (both during his life and after), and the ongoing legacy of these images. Though Luther had a magnetic quality both in life and in death, Roper does not shy away from discussing and grappling with his less savory side. Luther was highly aggressive and could be foul-mouthed, especially when speaking of his enemies. He was virulently anti-Semitic and he tended toward misogyny, even for a man of his time. Moving nimbly from analysis of Luther's portraits to his dreams, his anti-Pope propaganda, and even the Playmobil Luther figures of today, Roper presents new sides of this complicated man made more complicated by his followers and detractors"--

Excerpt from The Life of Martin Luther: To Which Is Prefixed an Expository Essay on the Lutheran Reformation There are three different methods in which the exa mination of an event like the Reformation - if it should not be rather called a series of progressing and devel oped events - may be conducted. By the first, its principles might be investigated and tested. Such an examination would suppose the proper character of. The facts to be as yet unascertained; and would have for its object the resolution of the events into their ori ginating and component principles, and the comparison of these with some previously-acknowledged standard, that so a definite sentence might be pronounced upon the Whole series. This would be the method of ori ginal investigation. 1. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
