M. text utu 2015 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Luther, vol. 3 of 6" by Hartmann Grisar is a comprehensive historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on Martin Luther’s theological evolution during the Reformation, specifically emphasizing the organizational and public aspects of the new church he helped establish. Grisar's work aims to provide a thorough and scholarly examination of Luther’s impact, presenting him not just as a reformer but also as a complex figure navigating the turbulent religious and political landscape of his time. The opening of this volume sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Luther's changing religious position as he transitioned from advocating complete freedom in faith to establishing a structured church with binding formularies. It discusses Luther's recognition of the chaotic consequences of his earlier radicalism and his subsequent efforts to anchor Lutheranism within a more organized ecclesiastical framework. His relationships with secular authorities, the challenges posed by emerging radical factions, and the resulting shifts toward a state church model are highlighted, illustrating both his disillusionments and pragmatic adaptations in an ever-evolving spiritual context.
