Here I Stand Before the Emperor: Martin Luther at the Diet of Worms

In April 1521, Martin Luther stood before princes, church leaders, and Emperor Charles V. His books lay upon a table. One question remained: Would he take back what he had written?

Luther asked for another day. Then he returned to confess that his conscience was captive to the Word of God. He was willing to be corrected from Holy Scripture—but he could not deny what Scripture taught.

Richly illustrated in a classical historical style, Here I Stand Before the Emperor introduces young readers to Luther’s stand at the Diet of Worms, his dangerous journey home, and his secret refuge in the Wartburg. Above all, it directs them to Jesus Christ and the sure Word on which Christians still stand.
