Julious Köstlin’s account of Martin Luther is a rare and important interpretation of the Protestant Reformation and the life of Luther. This book covers some of the lesser-discussed topics of the Reformation such as the manufacturing of relics. According to Köstlin:

“Luther was preparing to deal a heavy blow at the Cardinal Albert. This prelate had abstained as yet, with great caution, from taking any stringent measures to prevent the spread of Lutheran preaching in his diocese. But he was in want of money. To supply this want he published a work giving news of a precious relic, which he had placed for view at Halle, his town; and inviting pilgrimages to see it. A multitude of other rich and wonderful relics had been collected there.” (p.260)
