Martin Luther was a German priest and professor of theology who initiated the Protestant Reformation. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment of sin could be purchased with money. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517.

"The Bible is alive," declared Martin Luther, "it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold of me." The Protestant Reformation's seminal leader possessed a gift for evocative speech, and he was as articulate and outspoken in private as he was in public. Fortunately for posterity, some of Luther's loyal followers took note of his informal speeches.

Martin Luther's Bondage of the Will (1525) is a response to Desiderius Erasmus's "Diatribe on Free Will.’ The work is considered as one of the great masterpieces of the Reformation. Luther writes powerfully about man's depravity and God's sovereignty in his direct style, which combines spirituality and humor. For Luther, the crucial issue was the ability of free will, and the extent to which it is subject to God's sovereignty.

Ein "Katechismus" ist seit dem Beginn der Neuzeit ein Handbuch der Unterweisung in den Grundfragen des christlichen Glaubens. Der hier als Hörbuch vorgelegte "Große Katechismus" Martin Luthers dürfte in dieser Form kaum geeignet sein, Atheisten und Andersgläubige für den christlichen Glauben zu gewinnen. Vor rund 500 Jahren hat der Reformator aufgeschrieben, was er für den Kernbestand christlichen Glaubens hielt. Dieser besteht aus fünf "Hauptstücken" die Luther ausführlich kommentiert. Heute würde man diese Erläuterungen ganz, ganz anders formulieren.

With a foreword by James Martin, this classic manual on the Reformation by Martin Marty answers the question: Why is the Reformation relevant today? Most importantly, this audiobook is about how the Reformation impacts us devotionally as Christians of any denomination.

This captivating volume offers a concise yet powerful overview of the life of a priest whose bold act of nailing 95 theses to a church door ignited a revolutionary movement across Europe in 1517—the Reformation of the Catholic Church. Join Elyse J. Wood as she brings to life the pivotal moments that changed the course of history.

Luther’s 95 Theses, written in Latin, were famously posted by Martin Luther on the door of the Castle Church, Wittenberg, on October 31, 1517, an event that came to be considered as the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. The Theses focus on three main issues: selling forgiveness through indulgences, the pope’s claimed power of forgiveness, and the damage indulgences caused to sinners. The first thesis states, "When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, "Repent," he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance."

A look at many different aspects of how Martin Luther became the Father of the Reformation.

The Table Talk of Doctor Martin Luther is a collection of Luther’s commentaries on Biblical books such as Galatians and Deuteronomy. Much of the collection is based on notes taken during Luther's talks with his students and colleagues. Luther's close associates Antony Lauterbach and John Aurifaber took note of these informal speeches in which he comments on subjects such as baptism, the holy spirit and discipleship. His wide-ranging subjects also include life, the church and Christianity in general, and scientific pursuits such as astronomy in relation to God.

In the late afternoon of April 18, 1521, in the city of Worms, Germany, Martin Luther, a 37-year-old Catholic monk, appeared before Charles the Fifth, the Holy Roman Emperor at the imperial assembly. Luther was called to answer certain charges and to make public confession to the 'errors' found within the multitude of books he had written. The speech he delivered that day, Here I Stand, marked the beginning of the Reformation, a critical turning point in Christian history that decisively altered the spiritual map of the world.

The Reformation did not happen instantaneously; it was something God patiently arranged over a number of years.

Dangers multiplied before him; his enemies seemed about to triumph/ and the powers of darkness to prevail. Luther trembled she looked upon himself - one man opposed to the mightiest powers of earth.
