In this book Eric W. Gritsch, a Lutheran and a distinguished Luther scholar, faces the glaring ugliness of Martin Luthers anti- Semitism head-on, describing Luthers journey from initial attempts to proselytize Jews to an appallingly racist position, which he apparently held until his death. Comprehensively laying out the textual evidence for Luthers virulent anti-Semitism, Gritsch traces the development of Luthers thinking in relation to his experiences, external influences, and theological convictions. Revealing greater impending danger with each step, Martin Luthers Anti-Semitism marches steadily onward until the full extent of Luthers racism becomes apparent. Gritschs unflinching analysis also describes the impact of Luthers egregious words on subsequent generations and places Luther within Europes long history of anti-Semitism. Throughout, however, Gritsch resists the temptation either to demonize or to exonerate Luther. Rather, readers will recognize Luthers mistakes as links in a chain that pulled him further and further away from an attitude of respect for Jews as the biblical people of God. Gritsch depicts Luther as a famous example of the intensive struggle with the enduring question of Christian-Jewish relations. It is a great historical tragedy that Luther, of all people, fell victim to anti-Semitism -- albeit against his better judgment.
