Description: Martin Luther was a controversial figure during his lifetime, eliciting strong emotions in friends and enemies alike, and his outsized persona has left an indelible mark on the world today. Lyndal Roper explores how Luther carefully crafted his own image and how he has been portrayed in his own times and ours. She paints a unique portrait of the man who set in motion a revolution that sundered Western Christendom.

The book examines how the painter Lucas Cranach produced images that made the reformer an instantly recognisable character whose biography became part of Lutheran devotional culture. She reveals what Luther's dreams have to say about his relationships and discusses how his masculinity was on the line in his devastatingly crude and often funny polemical attacks.

Roper shows how Luther's hostility to the papacy was unshaken to the day he died and how his deep-rooted anti-Semitism infused his theology.
