On First Looking into Martin Luther: Treasures of the Reformation

A groundbreaking set of exhibitions and accompanying scholarly volumes, 'Martin Luther: Treasures of the Reformation' and 'Martin Luther and the Reformation,' revealed unprecedented insights into Martin Luther's life, the Reformation era, and their cultural, religious, and political contexts. These exhibitions, held in the U.S., showcased rare artifacts, archaeological finds, and significant historical documents, including Luther's childhood items, the Debate Lectern from Wittenberg, and the Eisleben pulpit where he preached his last sermon. The exhibits, curated post-German reunification, offered a comprehensive view of Luther's influence and the Reformation's impact on art, piety, and society, with contributions from leading scholars in the field.
