Review
“A meticulously researched and detailed account of Luther’s life and times . . . a very human portrait. . . . Metaxas is a scrupulous chronicler and has an eye for a good story. The result is full, instructive, and pacey.” —The Washington Post“Metaxas knows how to tell a story and how to develop characters, and this talent makes his narrative at once gripping and accessible . . . an excellent glimpse of the whole of Luther’s life.” —The New York Times Book Review (Editors' Choice)“Mr. Metaxas has a knack for capturing the heart and mind of his subjects . . . his conclusions about the 16th-century revolutionary are uniquely Metaxas, a deep and thoughtful writer with much to teach the world.” —The Washington Times“A new magisterial biography . . . another epic work [from Eric Metaxas] . . . Extensively researched . . . A beautifully balanced separation of fact from fiction.” —Hugh Hewitt “If you had to make a list of five people who shaped the modern West, Martin Luther would be on it. Yet almost everything you think you know about Luther is wrong, as Eric Metaxas shows in this brilliant biography. This is an amazing story, beautifully told. You’ll emerge wiser.” —Tucker Carlson, host of Tucker Carlson Tonight “When Martin Luther made it possible to read the Bible for yourself, he did more than anyone else to create the future. Read this book for yourself to understand the story we’re all still living through.” —Peter Thiel, cofounder of PayPal, entrepreneur, and author of Zero to One “A marvelous, brilliant book that is equal parts biography, theology, political philosophy, and cultural history. With a light and rapid touch that nonetheless is capable of conveying deep truths and insights, Metaxas deftly blends these many elements into a narrative that reads as compellingly as a novel. I imagine that Luther himself—not an easy man to please—would be deeply impressed by this master portraiture.” —Mark Helprin, bestselling author of Winter’s Tale and A Soldier of the Great War“Brilliant . . . powerful . . . a must read.” —Mike Huckabee “A very, very good book.” —Fox News“Metaxas’s Martin Luther is a breathtaking achievement and a gripping read. Bold, fast-paced, and magisterial like its hero, yet always stylish and witty like its author, this account blows the cobwebs off long-settled expectations, and helps us to understand the man who shook the medieval world and helped to shape the modern world.”—Os Guinness, author of Impossible People“Eric Metaxas has blessed us with yet another indispensable biography. With his customary verve and elegance, profound reverence, and biting wit, Metaxas’s Martin Luther is an education in the meaning of man’s relation to God. It makes Luther’s life come alive and illuminates how deeply that life has affected our own.” —Bret Lott, bestselling author of Jewel and nonfiction editor of Crazyhorse magazine “As with his seminal work on Bonhoeffer, Eric Metaxas, in this extraordinary work on Martin Luther, reveals those nuances that made Luther the force that he was. As the details gather in the book, you soon feel the presence of the man himself.” —Dr. Gerald L. Schroeder, lecturer and teacher at College of Jewish Studies Aish HaTorah’s Discovery Seminar “This massive but eminently readable biography of Luther deserves no less an adjective than ‘formidable.’ Eric Metaxas is to religious biographers what Pixar is to cartoons.” —Peter Kreeft, author of Catholics and Protestants: What Can We Learn from Each Other? “Extraordinary. A tour de force.” —Johnnie Moore, Jr., founder of The Kairos Company“If you wish to know why Martin Luther is remembered as one of the most consequential figures in history, and why Eric Metaxas has emerged as one of the most prominent storytellers of our generation, you’ll find the answers in this book. Eric’s skill as a writer and biographer are on full display here, even as he corrects the myths and secures the history of a monk who changed the world.” —John Stonestreet, president of the Chuck Colson Center for Christian Worldview“One of the most engaging, inspiring, and entertaining books on Luther I've ever read. Every page a joy.” —J.D. Greear, pastor of The Summit Church in Raleigh-Durham, NC“Deeply researched and surprising.”—Tampa Bay Times“Metaxas is the best storyteller among the Luther biographers.” —WORLD magazine“Outstanding . . . full of clever turns of phrase and humor that makes the incredible story of Luther all the more accessible.” —ChristianHeadlines.com“A biography designed to peel back the myths and reveal Luther as the fascinating and influential man he was . . . A fast, easy read.” —The Houston Chronicle “Metaxas offers something different and special . . . the author’s fast-paced style and attention to interesting details sets this 450-page book apart.” —Institute for Faith, Work & Economics“Turns some centuries-long legends upside down.” —The Blaze “A masterful portrait of a seminal figure.” —Booklist (starred review)“A meaty autobiography of the Reformation leader. Metaxas brings his flair for epic biography that was on such impressive display in his 2010 book, Bonhoeffer . . . Metaxas offers something different and special.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Highly readable, fast-paced . . . cheerful.” —Publishers Weekly

I consider Metaxas one of the best writers living, but I was hesitant to read this one. First, it's thick (I usually prefer thin ones). Second, thousands of books have been written about Luther (and many written by him). Why do I need another Luther biography? Because it's Metaxas. He starts off perfectly, explaining how MLK, Jr. got his name, which basically leaves no doubt -- this is important to all of us. He then lists the things "everyone knows" about Luther -- that are all wrong! I was hooked.Not to ruin the surprise, but key information literally "unearthed" in 2008. So yes, Metaxas adds new information to a well told 500 year old story, and it is really worth examining.But here's the best part about Metaxas' biography -- he makes sure God gets the glory. So many details are known about Luther. It would be impossible for most to write this book, given all the information available. Metaxas pulls out the pieces of Luther's life that show how God was always part of the story. Beginning with his mom naming him Martin (and all the parallels with Saint Martin, who lived a millennium earlier). Luther was instrumental in the reformation, but he was not like "protesters" we know today. He could have been killed for his beliefs (like many before him and around him). He fully understood that. But he knew God is bigger. He clung to what was true, regardless of consequences. He listened to God, and he was brilliant, but he was not flawless in any sense. Metaxas gets that. God gets all the glory in this book.And ihe book is shockingly funny -- at least to me. I literally LOL'd many times. The people around me asked, "what?" -- and it was never easy to explain. I heard that earnest but lighthearted Metaxas voice delivering several lines, and it struck me as very humorous. I now suspect Luther would've liked it that way. This is not a story that praises Martin Luther. It is much more. Soli Deo Gloria.
I enjoyed the details in explaining the politics of indulgences. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in church history and those of you that don’t really know how Martin changed the world. The misuse of power and politics is forgotten and must be remembered in context. I give it a high rating because Eric made this history captivating and impossible to put down once you start reading. This book is timely given the way we are tearing down statues of historical figures without considering the totality of a Man.
On Tuesday of this week I woke up to find both my kindle and audio version of the mammoth book. Since Bonhoeffer I have read every Metaxas book and both travel to see him at some of those book launches and become a regular listener of the Eric Metaxas Show normally by Podcast on the website. Since I knew the book was coming, I clear most of my schedule so I could read/listen to the book. It twenty hours long or 450 page (plus footnotes etc). Eric is without doubt an excellent writer! Something I am not. For most of my life I worked in the Printing profession so I was glad to see the Eric gave the invention of the printing press it's proper due in why Martin Luther's reforms work where other before him fell short. Martin Luther is depending on who list one of the top 5 people on the last Millennium. I personally rank him 2nd to Johann Gutenburg who moveable type combined with the Printing Press was the Reformation and the biggest event of the last millennium.Being a son of the Protestant Reformation I have never understood how one could be "Roman Catholic". Eric does the huge task of taking us back to the world of 1500 and that in Europe the Pope was ruler over all the rulers in what was called the Holy Roman Empire. The fact that this Monk could not be killed like nearly everyone else who dare question Catholic dogma of the time is in fact a GREAT story! Don't start this book on a Sunday night because it will ruin your week! Start on a Friday and don't plan on doing anything else for the weekend!Eric is like Martin in that he write book for the average reader. Buy and more importantly READ the book!
Another great biography by Eric Metaxas! I thoroughly enjoyed his work on Bonhoeffer, but I thought it was a bit tedious in its detail. Luther is another very nice book, but it lacked some of the tedious details that were in Bonhoeffer. One reviewer has called this book a "fluff" piece since it did not address the anti Semitic writings Luther made in the later part of his life. However, that reviewer must not have read the book as it does address some of the inexplicable statements that Luther made as an old man. Metaxas offers no explanation, but calls them inexplicable since they went against the 99.9 percent of his other writings. One could call them the work of an elderly man struggling with dementia or the work of an elderly man struggling with a bad temper. It would all be conjecture that overlooks the 99.9% of his other work. This book takes pains to bring to light so many things that we take for granted today like freedom of religion and democracy that were the results of Luther's movement. This book is not simply the re-telling of familiar events in Luther's life, it's meant to show the reader how Luther was the bridge Europe took to modern life. When one reads this book, one comes away from it realizing that Luther really did change the world.
