Luther films have always – except the very earliest – been ambitious undertakings, advised by leading scholars and experts of theology and ecclesiastical history. Nonetheless Luther films have been largely bypassed by traditional Luther scholarship. Esther P. Wipfler is chiefly concerned with the interests behind each film project in its historical context and the impact these films have had on the image of Luther. This book argues that the status of Luther – as a national myth in Germany and as founder of a Protestant denomination and hero of modernity in the United States – required a cinematic concept that was closely linked with both theological issues and the changing image of the Lutheran Church.
