| The Preservation of the Church, 1532-1546 Translator: James L. Schaaf The third volume of Brecht's magnificent biography describes the final fourteen years of Luther's life, beginning with the accession of Elector John Frederick in 1532. The period is often treated briefly because some Reformation developments continued without him, his Catholic opponents paid only partial attention to him, his personality displayed great tensions, and his judgment, errors. Yet the preservation of the church, those confessing the Reformation gospel being identical, according to Luther, with the true church, dominated Luther's concerns. A work of immense and engaging scholarship, gracefully translated by James Schaaf, this volume offers comprehensive and original interpretations of Luther's private life, his congregation and the church in Saxony, his professorial lectures and theological controversies, Bible translation, Luther and the council of Trent, and his later writings about the Jews and Turks. With 34 illustrations. About the Author Martin Brecht, leading Luther Scholar, is Professor of Reformation and Modern Church History at the University of Muenster, Germany. About the Translator James L. Schaaf is Professor of Church History at Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Columbus, Ohio, and translator of numerous Fortress Press books.
