Abstract Martin Luther's relationship to music has been largely downplayed, yet music played a vital role in Luther's life, and he in turn had a deep and lasting effect on Christian hymnody. This book comprehensively explores these connections. Replete with tables, figures, and musical examples, this volume is the most extensive study on Luther and music ever published. The author's work makes a formidable contribution to Reformation studies, but worship leaders, musicians, and others will also find it an invaluable, very readable resource.
