"McGrath has made a major contribution to this problem of Luther studies by his learned, lucid and informative book." <i>Journal of Theological Studies</i>.<br /> <p>"It is refreshing to turn to Alister McGrath's study, <i>Luther's Theology of the Cross</i>, and to see how a work which is uncompromisingly theological in its focus can be rigorously historical throughout ... a work of impressive scholarship distinguished at the same time by a clarity of expression all too rare in books of this kind ... McGrath's magisterial study ... brings the most traditional of themes into fresh historical focus." <i>Journal of Ecclesiastical History</i>.<br /> </p> <p>"A study of the first rank." <i>Choice</i>.<br /> </p> <p>"Is a major study of Luther's theology, and ought to be consulted by everyone teaching the Reformation, and by Luther scholars in particular. An impressive achievement at the level of theological sophistication that has established McGrath as one of the pre-eminent Luther scolars. Its arguments are very tight and it displays a complete mastery of Luther scholarship." <i>Journal of Religious History.</i></p>

Martin Luther occupies a place of major importance in the history of the Christian Church, the history of Europe and the history of religious thought. His significance derives in part from his youthful wrestling with a major theological problem. What that problem was, and how he resolved it, are of the greatest interest to historians and theologians alike.<br /> <p>This book presents the most detailed examination in English to date of Luther's theological breakthrough, together with a wealth of information concerning the theological development of the young Luther in its late medieval context. Widely regarded as one of the most important works on Luther published in recent years, this paperback edition of Alister McGrath's classic text will be welcomed by students and scholars of both theology and history.</p>
"The first edition of this book was an excellent guide to Luther's breakthrough to a theology of the cross. This new fuller and updated edition is to be greatly welcomed."<br /> —<b>Tony Lane</b>, London School of Theology
