Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a German priest and theologian whose revolt against Church practices sparked the Reformation. He is regarded as the primary founder of Protestant Christianity, and as one of the pivotal figures of Western civilisation.Roland H. Bainton (1894-1984) was Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Yale University from 1936 to 1962. He dedicated much of his academic career to studying the Reformation. His most popular books was Here I Stand: A Life of Martin Luther (1950), which sold more than a million copies.

Ward distils a sparkling metaphysical vision of the primacy of mind over matter that he has developed over decades of dialogue with secular philosophy and the great religious traditions. It is a vision that might have seemed outlandish at the outset of his philosophical career, but is now beginning to command respect throughout the philosophical guild. Crisply argued, elegantly structured, and effortlessly wide-ranging, The Priority of Mind is one of the most accessible and engaging presentations of the case for idealism that I have ever come across.
