Journal Article
Martin Luther's Body: The “Stout Doctor” and His Biographers
2010
Overview
After Luther's death, the process of writing his biography began, first with Melanchthon, then with Rabus, Mathesius, Selnecker, Spangenberg, and others. These biographies also conveyed Luther's strong physicality and recounted his many illnesses attributing religious meaning to them as trials and martyrdoms. Here, Roper contends that one of the things that set Luther apart from many other Christian thinkers is his remarkably positive attitude toward the body, in all its aspects.
