Junker Jörg on Patmos

Luther's exile at Wartburg Castle marked a pivotal period of identity transformation, during which he rejected monastic celibacy and accomplished the rapid translation of the New Testament into German—an achievement completed in just eleven weeks. This study argues that his intense crisis, stemming from loss and isolation, created the conditions for both his theological shift and linguistic feat, offering new insights into the formation of Luther's thought and its enduring impact.
