Summary "Life of Luther" by Julius Köstlin is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This work spans the life and influence of Martin Luther, a pivotal figure in the Protestant Reformation, detailing his childhood, education, monastic life, and theological development. The book offers insights into Luther’s formative years and the societal conditions that shaped his revolutionary ideas. The opening of "Life of Luther" introduces us to the early life of Martin Luther, born to a miner's family in Eisleben, Saxony. Köstlin details Luther’s upbringing, including his strict parental environment, the challenges of poverty, and exceptional education that paved his way to Erfurt University. We learn about the hardships Luther faced, his sensitive conscience, and the profound impact of his monastic vows, which he took amidst a tumultuous personal crisis. Thus, the opening chapters not only set the stage for Luther's dramatic transformation into a religious leader but also provide a glimpse into the inner struggles that defined his early spiritual journey.
