His ideas would pit him against numerous scholars, priests, bishops, princes, and the Pope, even as others adopted or adapted his cause, ultimately dividing the Church against itself. A World Ablaze is a tale not just of religious debate but of political intrigue, of shifting alliances and daring escapes, with Luther often narrowly avoiding capture, which might have led to execution. The conflict would eventually encompass the whole of Christendom and served as the crucible in which a new world was forged. The Luther we find in these pages is not a statue to be admired but a complex figure-- $a brilliant and volatile, fretful and self-righteous, curious and stubborn. Harline brings out the immediacy, uncertainty, and drama of his story, giving readers a sense of what it felt like in the moment, when the ending was still very much in doubt. The result is a masterful recreation of a momentous turning point in the history of the world." -- $c Publisher's description. 505 0 $a A word before -- Curtain up: a Hebrew-reading knight -- Theses, theses everywhere -- A most vehement papist -- To Heaven in a bathing cap -- Not exactly ivory towers -- The lion stirs -- The rose of gold -- Cooked goose -- Wild boar -- Little flea -- Bonfire of inanities -- God help me -- No more hours -- Curtain down: a new habit -- A word after. 600 10 $a Luther, Martin, $d 1483-1546. 650 0 $a Reformation $z Germany $v Biography. 650 0 $a Lutheran Church $z Germany $x Clergy $v Biography. 650 0 $a Reformation. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 10 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718092952.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211023711.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006111914.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20180907014807.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20180524044735.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20180209010514.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20180202012328.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20171129010243.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20171121011816.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20171107014453.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C9694DAAA99211E7A347A92897128E48 994 $a Z0 $b UIIInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
