Martin Luther: Renegade and Prophet is a new book that challenges conventional wisdom about the Protestant Reformation. Author Lyndal Roper argues that Luther was not a heroic figure who single-handedly changed the course of Western Christianity, but rather a complex and often contradictory man whose ideas were shaped by his personal experiences and the political and social context of his time.

Roper's book is based on extensive research in primary sources, including Luther's own writings and the accounts of his contemporaries. She argues that Luther was a product of his time, and that his ideas were shaped by the political and social upheavals of the early 16th century. Luther was a passionate advocate for reform, but he was also a conservative who was deeply suspicious of change. He was a brilliant theologian, but he was also a man of contradictions, capable of great compassion and great cruelty.

Roper's book is a major contribution to our understanding of the Protestant Reformation. It is a complex and nuanced portrait of a complex and contradictory man. Roper's work will be essential reading for anyone interested in the history of Christianity or the history of Europe.
