Produktbeschreibung

Martin Luther's 'The Ninety-five Theses' is a seminal work that sparked the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. Written in a straightforward and direct manner, this book consists of 95 propositions or arguments challenging the Roman Catholic Church's practices, particularly the sale of indulgences. Luther's writing style is assertive and bold, reflecting his firm beliefs and desire for reform. The Ninety-five Theses is considered a foundational text in the history of Christianity and has had a lasting impact on religious thought. This work is essential for anyone interested in the history of the Reformation and the development of Protestantism. Martin Luther, a German monk and theologian, wrote The Ninety-five Theses as a bold declaration against the corruption he saw within the Church. His strong convictions and fearless attitude towards authority led him to challenge the status quo and ignite a movement that transformed Western Christianity. Luther's courage and intellectual rigor shine through in this influential work. I highly recommend 'The Ninety-five Theses' to readers interested in religious history, theology, or the impact of individual actions on shaping larger societal changes. Luther's powerful critique of the Church's practices and his call for reform make this a vital text for understanding the roots of Protestantism.

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.
