  Online NewsHour: Man of Faith -- June 4, 1998
MARTIN MARTY: I think the idea of vocation that each of us live a life that has a distinctive stamp on it, and you might trudge off to very routine kind of work, but you are important to somebody, and you count; you count under God, and you count in the eye of the neighbor.
MARTIN MARTY: I think my own development through the years, both spiritually and intellectually, is to keep one part of the soul or foot on the ground of a tradition and on the other you feel free to roam and find ways to integrate other experiences and deal with the other.
MARTIN MARTY: Today, for all of the pluralism we have, for the fact that in any university classroom and in any subway, in any ballgame you might well have every religion ever known in ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, and the yellow pages of today's phone book, there still are some kinds of insulations.

 Martin Marty's Martin Luther - Books & Culture
M artin Marty's biography of Martin Luther is the latest volume in Penguin Lives, a series edited by James Atlas with the aim of matching name writers with name subjects, and published for a general audience as a library of biographical essays of no more than 200 pages each.
As Marty points out, Luther's posting of his famous 95 theses—literally by post to the Bishop of Mainz and perhaps also by nailing them to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg—was as much an academic reflex as it was a polemical challenge to the Catholic church.
Marty's answer is straightforward: "Had Luther not eventually come to display and preach confidence in the promises of God, not many of the thousands who shared his pilgrimage of faith or who were cheered and guided by his message and programs would have followed.

 Thursday Theology #296 - Book Review of Martin Marty's MARTIN LUTHER
Marty's Martin Luther could have easily suffered from the same fate because of the constraints of the Penguin Lives series to which this volume is now added.
Ultimately, though, Marty's portrayal leaves us with what the reformer's "Anfechtungen" were all about, that is, the collision of the hidden God experienced in seeming arbitrariness and uncertainty and the revealed God seen in weakness in Christ.
That, indeed, was the question to a tee and Marty draws from Luther's answers in the reformer's three treatises of that year (Address to the Christian Nobility of the German Nation, The Babylonian Captivity of the Church, and The Freedom of the Christian).

Marty excels in distilling debates that were matters of life and death 500 years ago but seem obscure to Christians today.
Marty pulls no punches; despite his Lutheran pedigree, he excoriates Luther for his anti-Semitism (on the basis of both Christian behavior and bad scholarship) and his habit of lobbing grenades in unneeded and unwarranted directions (such as Erasmus and Henry VIII).
Martin Marty's new biography is an excellent starting point on the study of that oft larger-than-life Theologian and churchman, Luther, that changed not only the face of Christianity forever but that of the Western world.
