Q. How do I find recent biographies of Martin Luther?

For an overview of books and biographies of Luther, see our LibGuide on Martin Luther.

Also see our LibGuide on Bibliographies of select theologians, including Luther.

-----------------------------

When doing a 'catalog search' for Luther, know that most of the time (not universally true) the subject subdivision "Biography" is applied to a class of people or a movement, rather than to an individual.  Thus books about Luther that are substantially about his life and career usually are assigned two headings:

1. LUTHER, MARTIN, 1483-1546
2. REFORMATION--GERMANY--BIOGRAPHY

Try searching  for "Luther, Martin" as a subject phrase combined with "Biography" as a keyword in the subject field.  This will yield more recent results. (You may need to resort your results to specify "Publication Date Descending."
