"Luther: A Guide for the Perplexed" provides an introduction to Martin Luther, the German reformer. Luther is best known for sparking the Reformation movement and is therefore considered as a highly influential character of the second millennium.

The book's author, David M. Whitford, discusses the reasons behind Luther's break from Rome and the consequences that resulted from it. Whitford emphasises the significance of the development of separate Evangelical churches: these events resulted in political, social and religious changes that will be analysed in the book.

Despite there being a vast supply of books about Luther, he has remained an enigma in most Christians's eyes. Whitford's book takes a fresh perspective when studying the life of Luther and the key theological positions that he adopted.

"The Guides for the Perplexed" series offers reader-friendly, concise writing styles that help readers to better-understand a subject that is typically difficult to grasp.
