Luthers 'Judenschriften'

Zusatztext

Thomas Kaufmann describes Luther's "writings on the Jews" in the setting of the dramatically changing historical contexts of the Reformation and in the context of contemporary debates. "Building on his previous and penetrating work, this volume is a significant and rich addition to the field of Luther studies, Reformation Studies, and early modern Jewish history." Dean Bell http://www.sehepunkte.de/2012/04/20437.html (04/2012) "Kaufmann has amassed in only 182 pages of text a wealth of historical background to one of the most controversial issues of the Reformation." Scott H. Hendrix in Journal of Ecclesiastical History 64 (2013), pp. 170-171
