Jared Wicks, SJ, has his doctorate from the University of Munster,
Germany. His dissertation
came out as Man Yearning for Grace: Luther's Early Spiritual
Teaching (1969). He taught at Jesuit School of Theology in Chicago
and the Gregorian University in Rome, bringing out further studies
of Luther in Luther's Reform: Studies on Conversion and the Church
(1992). Since 2011, he has been scholar-in-residence at the
Pontifical College Josephinum, Columbus, Ohio, from which he
published a retrospective essay, Half a Lifetime with Luther in
Theology and Life, in Pro Ecclesia (2013).
Luther and His Spiritual Legacy is the best brief introduction to
Luther's life and thought I know of. For Wicks, Luther's goal was
not to found a new church but to summon the one Church back to her
first love--the crucified and risen Jesus. A major ecumenical
achievement.
--Joseph Mangina, Wycliffe School of Theology, Toronto A still
widely read book on Luther . . . in many ways an early example of
transformational Luther scholarship.
