Luther: Man Between God And The  Devilis the definitive biography of the central  figure of the Protestant Reformation. Published  in 1982 in Germany to great acclaim, the book  portrays the controversial reformer in the context of  his own time. Oberman argues that Luther is more  the medieval monk than history has usually  regarded him. Haunted by the devil, Luther saw the  world, Oberman claims, as a cosmic battleground between  God and Satan. It is this battle with the devil  that provides the key to understanding the man.  This is a classic in biography and an indispensable  work for all interested in one of the greatest  figures of Western history.
