'This is a learned and tightly written work which shows a panoramic mastery of medieval sources and of Luther's developing theology, situated firmly in the theological context of the later Middle Ages. Original language texts are provided in the footnotes for Saak's translations. These, with the extensive bibliography, make this a solid resource for scholars.' Donald K. McKim, Journal of Ecclesiastical History 'This is an ambitious book that moves between general discussions of the era and the specifics of scholarship in Luther. Further, it ultimately delivers on its promise of offering a compelling view of late medieval Augustinianism, the diverse intellectual sources of Luther's own thought, and the unfolding of this in the narrative of Luther's transition from Brother Martin to the Reformer Luther.'
