    • 5 Pages

    "Luther was a German patriot. He was never a nationalist in the modern sense of the word. Luther was, above all, a pastor, professor of theology and iconic figure of the Protestant Reformation. Luther has been variously identified as an advocate of absolute monarchy, democracy, individual freedom, intellectual repression, nationalism, internationalism, spirituality and secularism. He was a religious figure; his battles were fought over theological issues that may seem to us obscure but whose

    The 95 theses were written by Martin Luther. The reason for the 95 theses that he wrote was that he did not like that way the church was ruling everything and he did not believe that what the church was teaching the people were true. He believed that you went to either heaven or hell based on your faith and not how the people act. This also had a lot to do with the Protestant Reformation. Martin Luther enforced the 95 theses at the perfect time. With everything that was going on during this time

    In Freedom of a Christian, Martin Luther preaches many concepts. The concept I have chosen to explain is his perception of freedom. Freedom can mean different things to different people. To Martin Luther, freedom was through his faith and relationship with God. His concept of freedom led to other groups fighting for their religious freedom. My personal idea of freedom is different from Luther’s. I don’t consider myself to be very spiritual, so I can’t speak to my own concept of religious freedom

    Many of the characters throughout Once Upon a Timepiece seem to make poor decisions that affect the lives of many people, and Luther believed wholeheartedly that people should not feel they deserve go to hell.

Two tutors, Bartholomaeus Arnoldi von Usingen and Jodocus Trutfetter, deeply influenced him to be suspicious of even the greatest thinkers and to test everything himself by experience.
