Abstract
I assisted Dr. Harline in research with his upcoming book Wild Boar: The Rise of the Friar Martin Luther; 1517-1522. We explored these earlier key years of Martin Luther’s life, focusing on the events and people who shaped his rise to Reformation stardom, describing them in a new and refreshing way for a general audience. I was very involved not only in research and translation efforts, but also in seeking out illustrations for his book, contacting museums and obtaining permission to use each picture. Though many recognize Martin Luther as an important historical figure, this project has humanized many more complicated aspects of Luther’s life and added new perspectives and details to Luther literature for the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in 2017.
