Samuel Torvend's original and important reconstruction of
the emergence of Luther's and the early Reformation church's
response to the poor gathers fragments from across Luther's
early writings. He uncovers a striking counter-image to the
usual portrait of a quietist orientation that left the world to
deal with its own problems. Instead, he finds that Luther's
concern emerged early in his career, centered around hunger
and the hungry poor, and was deeply rooted in his encounter
with the Bible and with the sacramental character of the local
church.
