A long time ago, the Brit M had a Durer show. They made a giant copy of that as you were about to enter the show. My then 5 yo nearly climbed up my body to get away from it. Absolutely terrified. Needless to say, did not see the exhibit. We went back to ANE wing.

He framed it in terms of Aug's City of God. I said during Q&A, that he may have used CG, but gave an excellent summary of ML's Bab Cap. No friend made. =)

I use sixteenth century images of Luther to explore how he managed and finessed his public persona to project a vision of himself as godly and manly.
I am very happy to announce this book!
