About the author
Born in Großenhain on July 16, 1859, and died in Rochlitz on February 18, 1947, Georg Buchwald was a German evangelical theologian in Saxony. He served as a pastor in places including Zwickau and Leipzig, and later became superintendent in Rochlitz.
Buchwald is best remembered as a Luther scholar. Reference sources describe him as active in Luther research, and his bibliographic record shows a long list of works on Luther, Wittenberg, and the Reformation era. He also contributed to major editorial work connected with Luther studies, helping bring historical documents and correspondence back into view.
For audiobook listeners, Buchwald stands out as a writer who worked close to the original sources. His writing belongs to that rich tradition of historians and church scholars who tried not just to retell the Reformation, but to document it carefully from letters, archives, and early printed texts.
