Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a meticulously researched and annotated collection of Luther's sprawling and combative correspondence with his friend, the humanist scholar Erasmus of Rotterdam. The sweeping exchange of letters provides an unparalleled glimpse into the bitter battle over the nature of faith waged between Catholicism and Lutheranism in the tumultuous years following Luther's Ninety-Five Theses. The invective-laden letters document the declining relationship between the two men, as they trade accusations of heresy and false piety. Erasmus, fearing he would be lumped together with Luther, became increasingly vehement in his denunciation of Lutheranism. The letters reveal the strategies and ideas used by both parties, and offer a profound insight into the religious and intellectual climate of the period. The depth of analysis of the themes of faith and piety makes this collection indispensable reading for scholars of the Reformation.
