From the Paper:
"Carter Lindberg states in his book The European Reformations, "An initial move to control the complicated and multifaceted reality of the Reformation is to define the terms used for it and the era it covers." In order to secure Luther in the annuals of history as a "bad ass," one must not only clarify the characteristics of that title, but also view his accomplishments in a 21st Century frame of reference. First, it should be determined which historical figures might fall into the category of being labeled a "bad ass." At this point, the common characteristics of a historical "bad ass" will become evident. Second, after determining these characteristics, they then must be applied to Luther and the result will be forthcoming."Cite this Comparison Essay:
