Martin Luther, Volume 2: Shaping and Defining the Reformation, 1521-1532
Brecht here describes the years in which the
distinctive aspects of the Reformation took
shape. During this time four difficult
conflicts—the Peasants' War, the
interchange between Luther and Erasmus,
debates on the Lord's Supper, and the rise
of Anabaptist groups—strengthened the
need to fashion new orders for govering the
church and the need to develop new patterns
for worship and the instruction of youth.
Luther the theologian was occupied with
problems of politics, economy, law, and
education. In addition, his own life was
altered by his marriage.
