Clearly a typo. Clearly in original.
Well, if someone has an overly simplistic view of Luther, maybe this book will helpfully complicate their view. [:P]
I'm not sure if it's a typo. What would the intended word have been? Complete? "This study will helpfully complete your view of Luther"? Does that work any better? It's a badly written sentence. I would have left out "helpfully" -- weak word. I'd have used "broaden" or "enrich" or something in one of those semantic ranges rather than "complete" (or "complicate"). One's view is never really fully complete, is it?
I thought it was "funny." Not what was intended. A little humour. [:P]

Ah, the perspicuity of the Reformation. ;-)
I assumed that the blurb was saying, “if you think he’s simple, you don’t know him.” But looking at the other comments, maybe not.
Martin Luther considered the reading of God's word to be his primary task as a theologian, a pastor, and a Christian. Though he is often portrayed as reading the Bible with a bare approach of sola Scriptura—without any concern for previous generations’ interpretation—the truth is more complicated. In this New Explorations in Theology (NET) volume, Reformation scholar Todd R. Hains shows that Luther read the Bible according to the rule of faith, which is contained in the church's ancient catechism of the Ten Commandments, the Lord's Prayer, and the Apostles' Creed. Hains carefully examines Luther's sermons to show how Luther taught the rule of faith as the guard and guide of Bible reading. This study will helpfully complicate your view of Luther and bring clarity to your own reading of God's Word. Featuring new monographs with cutting-edge research, New Explorations in Theology provides a platform for constructive, creative work in the areas of systematic, historical, philosophical, biblical, and practical theology.

Pardon me, but I took the literal meaning of the text as presented. Then I went to find vindication. See the text I bolded above. I suspect that this book is written for the High Lutheran audience.

Of course! Count on MJ to read the full text and help us understand the intended meaning.

Thank you for taking a moment to bringing this up. I have confirmed, the description matches that of the publisher. That being said, I'll reach out to them to double check this.
My quote above is from the publisher. The problem is strictly in the hermeneutics and exegesis of the FL users.

As MJ showed, it was quite likely intentional by the publisher. I wouldn't have bothered checking with them.
Now, for the students: Is this thread a higher or lower criticism question?
