Lutheran Religion

This annotated edition of Concerning Christian Liberty includes an extra appendix which provides an interesting overview of Martin Luther’s peasant roots, his education in pre-law, and how he was diverted from a law career to that of a monk-turned-professor and, eventually, Protestant reformer.

Martin Luther was a German theologian, priest, author, composer, and previous Augustinian monk who is best recalled as a key figure in the Protestant Reformation and the creator of Lutheranism. In the year 1507, Luther was ordained as a priest. He came to oppose certain Roman Catholic Church theories and practices, specifically the perspective on extravagances. In his 95 Theses of 1517, Luther advised a scholastic evaluation of the practice and effectiveness of extravagances.

In this 500th Reformation celebration year of Martin Luther's posting of his 95 theses on the door at Wittenberg in Germany, Oct 31, 1517, it seems appropriate to republish some of the classic books about Dr. Martin Luther's life, ministry, and ideas. He was a passionate, highly educated man that believed without question that all the words found in the Bible, both Old and New Testament, were the very Words of God, needed for people everywhere.

In 2017 is het precies 500 jaar geleden dat Luther zijn 95 stellingen publiceerde. Het vormde het begin van een revolutie in het religieus denken in Duitsland en de rest van Europa: de Reformatie. Uit deze 16e-eeuwse beweging, die brak met de door de paus geleide kerk van Rome, zijn de protestantse kerken ontstaan. De kerkscheuring liet ook onuitwisbare sporen na op maatschappelijk, politiek en cultureel terrein.

Most scholars consider Melanchthon to be a Reformation enigma. He, the developer of the Reformation doctrine of forensic justification, is contrarily condemned as a synergist. Known well as the Protestant preceptor of Germany, he was Martin Luther's lifelong friend, colleague, teacher of Greek, and fellow reformer. Upon arriving at Wittenberg, Melanchthon was a theologian neither by trade nor by training. He was a classically trained expert in classical languages, neo-Latin poet, textbook author, Greek scholar, humanist, and above all, an educator

As one of the most influential and recognizable religious figures in history, Martin Luther (1483-1546) continues to impact the world over 550 years after his death. Luther was a German priest and theologian whose writings and teachings sparked the Protestant Reformation in the early 16th century, creating one of the greatest schisms in the history of the Catholic Church and touching off religious turmoil and bloodshed that would engulf Europe for the next two centuries.

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."

If we as Christians want to celebrate a specific event other than Halloween on October 31st, then Martin Luther’s nailing of his 95 Theses onto the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, in 1517 is as good an alternative event as any.

If you search for the word "coffee" in the Bible, if you're pretty sure that all the pairs of animals in Noah's Ark were married, and if you think tuna hotdish is okay but fishsticks are a little too ecumenical, you'll find humor in Growing Up Lutheran. If the Lutherans you know seem rather, er, mysterious, it will do you good.

The Reformation and the Protestant Movement that Dr. Martin Luther initiated, spoke for change in the Catholic Church, defended with pen, and published many books in the common language of the people for the first time on the newly invented printing press. Pulpit preaching, university teaching, debated and defended in public meetings before princess and clergy, all made bold proclamations for reform. Dr. Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses, points for dialogue and reform.

Dass Martin Luther vor fast 500 Jahren für die Homo-Ehe eingetreten wäre oder ein Plädoyer für die heute so verbreitete sequenzielle Monogamie gehalten hätte, wird niemand erwarten. Aber ist damit alles, was er über das eheliche Leben gedacht und geschrieben hat, überholt und zu vernachlässigen? Man höre und urteile selbst.

In Rome, on February 24, 1530, Pope Clement VII placed the ancient crown of the Holy Roman Empire on the head of the 29-year-old Charles V of Habsburg. Born in Flanders, he became Duke of Burgundy and Lord of the Netherlands at the age of six, King of Castile and Aragon at 15, Archduke of Austria at 17, and, finally, King of the Romans three months after that. The last title belonged to the ruler of Germany before he was solemnly crowned Holy Roman Emperor by the Pope.

In 1520, Martin Luther debated Catholic theologian Johann Eck in Leipzig - and lost. After the debate, the pope threatened Luther with excommunication. He responded by writing this address to the German nobility, urging them to consider his reforms for the church. He argues that the Catholic church abuses undue power, and asks, “If we rightly hang thieves and behead robbers, why do we leave the greed of Rome unpunished?”
