Luther Examined and Reexamined / A Review of Catholic Criticism and a Plea for Revaluation

The author systematically reviews Catholic criticisms of Martin Luther, tracing biographical episodes, doctrinal disputes, and allegations of moral and political extremism. Chapters analyze charges concerning his personal life, monastic failure, Bible translation, relations with Rome, views on law and conscience, and accusations of advocating violence, polygamy, or the rejection of commandments. The treatment combines historical evidence and primary-source quotations with polemical rebuttals to re-evaluate contested judgments and argue for a more measured appraisal of his role and teachings.
