Advance acclaim for Luther's Earliest Opponents

"David Bagchi's book is the first work compre-hensively to describe and analyze the writings of Luther's Catholic opponents during the crucial early years of the Lutheran Reformation. He has taken on a significant topic and done a superb job explicating it. With great clarity and acumen he manages to lay out the controversialists' concerns on a variety of topics and show how all these topics converge on the issue of authority. His judgments, I think, are sound and persuasive. This is an extra-ordinarily accomplished piece of work."
