Here I Stand (Hendrickson Classic Biography Series)

With sound historical scholarship and penetrating insight, Roland  
Bainton examines Luther's widespread influence. He re-creates the  
spiritual setting of the sixteenth century, showing Luther's place  
within it and influence upon it. Richly illustrated with more than  
100 woodcuts and engravings from Luther's own time, Here I Stand  
dramatically brings to life Martin Luther, the great Reformer.  
  
A specialist in Reformation history, Roland H. Bainton was for  
forty-two years Titus Street Professor of Ecclesiastical History at  
Yale, and he continued his writing well into his twenty years of  
retirement. Bainton wore his scholarship lightly and had a lively,  
readable style. His most popular book was Here I Stand: A Life of  
Martin Luther (1950), which sold more than a million copies.
