Produktbeschreibung

Martin Luther's 'The Ninety-Five Theses' is a pivotal work in the history of Christianity, sparking the Protestant Reformation. Written in a persuasive and bold tone, Luther's arguments against the Catholic Church's sale of indulgences resonate with readers even today. The book's format of 95 theses laid out in a clear and concise manner reflects Luther's intention to stimulate debate and reform within the Church. The Ninety-Five Theses is not only a religious document but also a literary masterpiece that changed the course of Western history. Its influence on Protestant theology and the printing press cannot be overstated. Martin Luther, a German theologian and monk, penned The Ninety-Five Theses in 1517, motivated by his concern over corruption and abuse within the Catholic Church. His courage to challenge the authority of the Church and his commitment to truth and personal conscience define him as a significant figure in religious history. Luther's dedication to reforming Christianity shines through in this powerful manifesto. I highly recommend 'The Ninety-Five Theses' to readers interested in religious history, theology, and the impact of individuals on society. Luther's timeless message of standing up for one's beliefs and questioning authority continues to inspire and provoke thoughtful reflection.

Autorenporträt

Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a German professor of theology, composer, priest, monk, and a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation. Luther came to reject several teachings and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. He strongly disputed the Catholic view on indulgences and he proposed an academic discussion of the practice and efficacy of indulgences in his famous Ninety-five Theses of 1517. Luther's refusal to renounce all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V resulted in his excommunication by the Pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Emperor.
