| Summary |
"Luther Examined and Reexamined" by W. H. T. Dau is a polemical theological treatise written in the early 20th century. The work aims to critically assess the Catholic criticisms directed at Martin Luther, the seminal figure of the Reformation, offering a defense of his theology and character against prevalent negative portrayals. Dau explores the significance of Luther's teachings and life story, emphasizing the theoretical and practical implications of his actions during a time of intense religious conflict. At the start of the book, the author introduces the ongoing animosity towards Luther from Catholic writers, framing their critiques as both a reflection of self-preservation and a historical counter-narrative to Protestant acknowledgment of his role in the Reformation. The preface also highlights the necessity of reviewing the charges against Luther and outlines his intention to present a fairer view of the Reformer while acknowledging the often polemical nature of his actions and writings. The opening sets the stage for a detailed examination of Luther's critiques, defenses, and the ecclesiastical context of his ministry, hinting at Dau's broader goal of encouraging further research into Luther’s impact on Christianity.
