Some scholars, such as Mark U. Edwards in his book Luther's Last Battles: Politics and Polemics 1531–46 (1983), suggest that since Luther's increasingly antisemitic views developed during the years his health deteriorated, it is possible they were at least partly the product of a state of mind.
Beberapa akademisi, seperti Mark U. Edwards dalam buku Luther's Last Battles: Politics and Polemics 1531–46 (1983) karyanya, mengemukakan bahwa karena pandangan-pandangan Luther yang semakin antisemitik berkembang selama tahun-tahun kesehatannya memburuk, terdapat kemungkinan kalau pandangan-pandangannya itu setidaknya sebagian dihasilkan dari suatu keadaan pikiran.
