Martin Luther's Influence In Germany

Luther states his purpose by pointing out that he should “warn the Christians to be on their guard against [Jews].” He urges Christians to stand up against Jews. In the last part, Luther offers seven draconian proposals on what should be done with the Jews, who do not want to convert to Christianity: their synagogues and schools should be burned; their houses should “also be razed and destroyed”; “their prayer books and Talmudic writings” should be taken from them; their rabbis should “be forbidden to teach henceforth on pain of loss of life and limb”; “safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews”; “usury be prohibited to them, and all cash and treasure of silver and gold be taken from them”; they should be subjected to harsh labor. Dean Bell also states that Luther’s attitude toward the Jews seemed to become more radical after 1538, and particularly so in his last work, On the Jews and Their Lies. It may sound shocking by Luther’s vulgar blast if this book is only taken into account, and one may think that Luther is a brutal and cruel anti-Jews. However, it is impossible to understand Martin Luther’s position on Jews, without exploring the framework in which he wrote. Bell points out the context including “the historical perceptions of and interactions between Jews and

His propaganda against the practice of the Pope to have the authority to read and interpret the Bible only and make people believe and follow it. Luther said that everyone can and should read the Bible for themselves, and have their own conclusion and faith. He had a strong criticism about the church's wealth, called its leaders corrupt and immoral. He strongly disagreed with selling indulgences and simony, when people after facing and regretting their sins had to pay large fees to be able to get to haven instead of hell. This was a e very old “tradition” of the Catholic church, but by the 16th century it became abusive. In his opinion salvation comes from the faith of Christ. His group of followers and supporters started to grow quickly. More and more people started to against the authority of the Pope and the Catholic church.

Martin Luther was one of the most influential and controversial figures in Christian history, due to his role in the Protestant Reformation. He was a German monk born on the 10th of November 1483 in the town of Eisleben, Saxony, in modern southeast Germany. Martin was born to a small family of peasant lineage, his father had little success as an ore smelter and a miner. Although mining was the family business, Hans Luther (Martin 's father) wanted his son to have a promising future so the family moved from Eisleben to nearby Mansfield, where Hans held an ore deposit.

Luther focuses on a direct approach to reforming Christianity. He believes that God quite literally controls the fates of all men and in order to save his brothers from corruption he must force them to see the truth. So states what he thinks being a true Christian is by blatantly nailing his 95 theses up on the church doors for all to see. This strong, symbolic, and courageous move shows how deeply devoted he is to Christianity, so much so that he does not even fear the Church. His work states plainly what good Christians do and don’t do.

That, “for no matter how right you are, it is not for a Christian to appeal to law, or to fight, but rather to suffer wrong and endure evil; and there is no other way.” Luther tells the peasants God will punish the wicked in the afterlife and save the good in heaven.

The Protestant and English reformation were both reforms that took place in the 16th century against the Roman Catholic Church. Comparatively these reformations are alike and different in some sense. For example, Two leaders led these reforms and went against the church’s beliefs for different purposes.For personal reasons , King Henry VIII went against the church, whereas Martin Luther knew the church could not offer him salvation amongst other reasons.

The Reformation had more of an impact on Europe than the Renaissance. The Reformation had many great reformers including Martin Luther, John Calvin and Henry VIII and his family. There were also many ideas that changed Europe for good. The Council of Trent and the Thirty Years War. With those reformers and wars, it changed Europe forever.

b. Europeans were reviewing religious information and also thought about their own opinions about the Church.

During the 16th century as renaissance inspired changes in education and art ,humanist ideas also impacted religion. Major dissatisfaction with the Roman Catholic Church and its traditions made it easier for people to trigger a movement to reform the church and its teachings. There were two reformers Martin Luther, a german theology professor, who came to realise a new comprehension of Christianity, and King Henry VIII, who desired divorce which he could not get because of the disapproval of the Catholic Church. While the motives of their strong persuasion of

Martin Luther is a man who has had a huge impact on religion. Without him and his movement who knows how the world would be today. His view on religion was considered heresy. Luther stated, “For, since we are all priests alike, no man may put himself forward or take upon himself, without our consent and election, to do that which we have all alike power to do.” (Luther 3) This statement shows Luther’s view on religion and the church. He believes that everyone has the authority to read the bible. This means no one man, meaning the Pope, has the power to read and interpret the bible for the rest of the people. His statement is giving freedom for people to read and understand the bible for themselves for the first time ever. He believed that people should be in charge of their church not the Pope. According to Luther, “...the Pope and his followers are wicked and not true Christians, and not being taught by God, have no true understanding.” (Luther 5) This proclamation declares that Luther considers the Pope and his follower to have no true understanding of God, because they have not been taught by God himself. He also says, “...it’s plain enough that the keys

Martin Luther was a leader in bringing to humankind some of the world’s first religious freedoms. Just as our forefathers did for all American Citizens when signing the Declaration of Independence but just as it was for our forefathers under British ruling so it was for Martin Luther when he was excluded in 1521.Luther was worried because he believed that everyone regardless of their good deeds could reach heaven through their faith. His translation of the bible into the popular language had a great impact on the church. Martin Luther was a pioneer of his time because of his brave actions the “Society of Jesus” was born in 1534 and was founded by Ignatius of Loyola and he begins a conquest to counter reform parts of Poland, Hungry and Germany

Martin Luther had many different beliefs than that of the Roman Catholic Church and the church did not, however, respond well to them. Luther first attacked the selling of indulgences because the put and unnecessary strain on the people not to mention he thought it to be a sin. The Roman Catholic Church did not favor this one because that is how the received most of their money for building things. He believed that you could go to heaven by faith alone. This, however, was not a principle of the Roman Catholic church believes once you are saved you go to heaven. Luther also disagreed with the fact the Roman catholic Church worship “ higher authority” instead of God. Two of his beliefs were sola Fide and Sola Scripture. These two beliefs stated

“Be a sinner and sin strongly, but more strongly have faith and rejoice in Christ.” Martin Luther was a man who knew that no man could be perfect. Luther dedicated his life to studying and practicing Christianity. Martin Luther believed that no man or church had the authority to judge or save a person from sin and that the duty fell to God, and God alone. Luther’s teachings were staunchly against the concept of indulgences created by the Roman Catholic Church to make money and support the church. The idea that God’s mind could be made up by any earthly amount of money and the papal decree was ridiculous to Luther. According to Luther God is not some man made structure that can be controlled by pushing the buttons the right way, God is totally autonomous and

On November 10, 1483 one of the most important men to change religion was born. As a young boy Martin lived with his two parents Hans and Margarette. The family wasn’t very wealthy but they made by with his father’s ore deposits. At a young Martin wasn’t every religious, he never had any reason to believe in God. Instead of being part of the church he had enrolled into the University of Erfurt where he received a Master of Arts Degree, this was where he thought his path was leading him. But one faithful day a horrible storm was passing through with young Martin in the middle. Praying for God for what he thought could be the last time her claimed that if the Lord let him survive he would serve him for
