The beginning of the Protestant Reformation is often dated to Luther's Ninety-five Theses in 1517, but those theses might have been forgotten if not for the events that followed. This book begins with the Ninety-five Theses and outlines the subsequent events that shaped the Reformation at least as much as the Ninety-five Theses, and quite possibly more. It provides a trove of primary documents by Luther and his opponents, along with commentary by historians who understand the theological issues at stake. Spanning the major milestones from 1517 to 1521, it concludes with the edicts that excommunicated Luther and the judgment against him with the imperial Edict of Worms. By drawing attention to these texts and events, the book gives a more complete picture of how the Reformation began.

Industry Reviews

“How the Reformation Began gives readers fresh insights into and in-depth contextual analysis of critical events and publications that brought Luther’s call for reform to the wider German and European Christian church and society. Nine recognized scholars illuminate effectively the various dimensions of Luther’s thinking. . . . The essays provide text from the key documents of these years with commentary, making it ideal for seminars and study groups of all kinds.”
—Robert Kolb, Concordia Seminary, emeritus

“This delightful volume provides a helpful collection of important articles that introduce the reader to the seminal texts of the fledgling Reformation movement introduced by Luther. The collection of articles by leading Luther scholars provides helpful selections of his writings with insightful commentary. An excellent resource for the classroom or those wanting to get an introduction to the primary writings produced at the beginning of the Lutheran Reformation.”
—Gordon A. Jensen, Lutheran Theological Seminary

“How the Reformation Began takes us step-by-step through the events that led to Martin Luther’s break with Rome. Using Luther’s own words, the essays show how his criticism of indulgences led to a religious revolution. This is an ideal starting place for anyone wanting to understand the Protestant Reformation.”
—Amy Nelson Burnett, University of Nebraska-Lincoln
