Greatness finding itself
Commentary
Erik Erikson's book about the early years of Martin Luther is called Greatness Finding Itself. Erikson reflected on what it was that made Luther a man who could change world history; his assessment was that in Luther, greatness found itself. Luther, he said, was someone who had the seeds of greatness within him and through the circumstances of his life he eventually found what it took to make a difference.
