Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life of Luther, Gathered From His Own Writings
The following work is neither the life of Luther turned into an historical romance, nor a history of the establishment of Lutheranism, but a biography, consisting of a. Series of transcripts from Luther's own revelations. With the exception of the events of the earlier years of his life, when Luther could not have been the penman, the transcriber has seldom had occasion to hold the pen himself. His task has been limited to selecting, arranging, and fixing the chronology of detached passages. Throughout the work Luther is his own spokesman - Luther's life is told by Luther himself. Who could be so daring as to interpolate his own expressions into the language of such a man Our business is to listen to, not interrupt him a rule we have observed as strictly as was possible.
