Martin Luther's On Christian Liberty

Herbal remedies are not as simple as just determining the illness and giving the prescribed medicine, without having knowledge of the body. The fundamental element of medicine in the Medieval time period is the theory of humours. This theory followed through until they reach the 19th century where more modern analysis could conducted. Humours also known as principle fluids are made up of four different fluid found in each individual: black bile, yellow bile, blood and phlegm. Each of the fluids are found in different organ of the body, black bile resides in the spleen and is the cause for melancholy, yellow bile is secreted by the liver and can cause irascibility, phlegm comes from the lungs and can be denounced to sluggishness, and the final

As a preface, those who had stood by the side of the Roman Catholic Church had enough with this institution that sought nothing, but power. Church officials took the people’s pure desire for salvation and scammed them into buying it instead. Ignorance is regularly the cause of such manipulation. The Protestant Reformation was effective in promoting the progress of mankind when it came to faith. Although it proved to be troublesome, particularly because of the splitting of the church, it was beneficial for those in the future.

Luther believed that the Church had abused its power and position by manipulating the common people for their own gain. He believed that salvation is

In “Letter from Birmingham Jail” first two pages he addresses the clergymen of his church and others as well. During his protest, he expresses how upset he was about what is going on right now. He writes down their complain that he is an “outsider” who has come to Birmingham to cause trouble . He defends his right to be there in a straightforward, humble tone, explaining that the SCLC is based in Atlanta but operates throughout the South. One of its affiliates had invited the organization to Birmingham, which is why they came. But he then provides a moral reason for his presence, saying that he came to Birmingham to battle injustice. He believes that “all communities and states” are interrelated, he feels compelled to work for justice anywhere

Martin Luther King discusses many philosophical principles in the “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” that relates with Aquinas discussion about law. Most of Martin Luther King’s philosophical ideas have to deal with natural law. According to Aquinas natural law is promulgated by reason and also rational participation in the eternal law. But in “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” we can see how human law is connected to natural law always. The two philosophical principles I find most interesting that Martin Luther King is working in his letter and also relates with Aquinas discussions in the Summa Theologiae are the difference between unjust and just acts; and what breaking the law implies. These two philosophical topics appear in both of the readings very often because of its importance to human behavior. I decided to choose these principles because from my perspective, I think they are the ones that appear the most and give meaning to the whole message Martin Luther King and Thomas Aquinas are trying to let the world know.

At the year 1524, Martin Luther, a significant figure in the Reformation and the founder of Lutheranism, had just finished hiding in Frederick the Wise’s Saxony castle after the Edict of Worms declared that he was an “outlaw” of the Holy Roman Empire. Luther’s action that led up to this event was the publication of the 95 Theses in 1517, which denounced indulgences and attacked the corruption of the papacy. Luther was able to remain hidden due to the extreme decentralization of the Holy Roman Empire. Emperor Charles V could not devote much of his attention to Luther, as he was controlling Spain, The Holy Roman Empire, and the New World. Furthermore, he was fighting two wars: the Habsburg-Valois Wars, and the war against the Ottoman Empire.

Martin Luther was one of two of the greatest leaders of the reformation along with John Calvin. The Reformation was the period in the 16th century (1571-1648) where the was a cultural upheaval the divided the European catholic population. Not only did it create a cultural upheaval it created political and intellectual disruption. Luther believed that the Catholic church was corrupt, his 95 Theses was a list of 95 arguments about the catholic church which he wanted to resolve. Luther believed that salvation was achieved by the grace of god and not by doing the work that the church demanded. The Reformation was so much more than a religious revolution even though it started out with a religious nature, it exceeded pass religion.

Luther didn’t believe that the Catholic Church was teaching people about their religion in the correct way. He thought that they were hiding parts of the religion from them, and he wanted to make it clear to the people of what they were to be learning and practicing. In wanting to do this, Luther wrote The Small Catechism. The Small Catechism is a document that highlights the Ten Commandments, the Apostle’s Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, the sacraments, and the daily prayers of the people. He directly writes what each of these texts is, and then he describes exactly what each of them means. This is to clarify to the people the exact knowingness of their religion. When he went around visiting various churches he began to notice that no matter where he went most everyone had been baptized and were receiving the body and blood of Christ, yet they didn’t even know the Our Father, the Ten Commandments, or the Creed. This was very hurtful to Luther. He knew that all of these people were taking their Christian liberty for granted, and he wanted to put an end to this. It was not the peoples fault per say, but they weren’t able to get help. The pastors were mainly all incompetent individuals and also did not know how to teach what they were to be teaching. So, Luther knew he had to go against the Catholic Church, which caused much disruption during those times, and write out exactly the words every Christian should know. Luther knew that

He spoke about the segregation and discrimination of blacks that was taking place in our nation. Demonstrating harsh examples of how cruel people were to the blacks, making the whites feel emotional. Luther helped them picture it so vivid in their minds by using powerful metaphors of the horror of slavery. Luther did a great job using pathos, which is what persuaded the whites to no longer hate Negros and hate racism instead. For example; his first sentences of the passage he says “I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation”. That’s all ready something big “history of our nation” people are interested in knowing how it will impact the nation and when Luther threw all those things out there it

Though many argue that Martin Luther never said these exact words, in this straightforward tone, Martin Luther supposedly stood in front of the Concordat of Worms and refused to abandon his opinion exclaiming, “Here I stand, I can do no other, so help me God” (Luther). Martin Luther was a man of faith, he found God and studied him intently, formulating ideas that forever changed Christianity, Christianity today could be very strict today, if Martin never took a stand.

Martin Luther King J.r experiences as a young person shaped his belifs and actions as an adult, to make stay positive. To make dreams and wishes come true. He has always wanted people to be treaded equally. He also always wanted to help people in need. All those experiences Martin Luther King J.r had helped him make a change in the world.

Martin Luther Kind writes "I hope this letter finds you strong in faith...will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty" to approach the men with their problems and hope to meet them. Martin Luther clearly wants to meet with these people so they understand each other and that the person against Martin's point will comprehend that Martin wants to be equal. The paragraph is composed of personifying social issues. When it comes to "racial prejudice" he describes them as dark clouds and the "misunderstanding" is seen as the deep fog. Martin's diction makes the paragraph sound understanding and friendly. The very last sentence explains what he wants overall. This whole paragraph is composed of Martin's ideas and its functions

The Renaissance is a period in Europe from the 14th to 17th century. It was considered the time between the Middle Ages and modern history. It all started as a cultural movement in Italy in the late Medieval period and later spread to the rest of Europe, which started the beginning of the Early Modern Age. There are many highly interesting periods of history but the level of artistic and architectural production during this time is amazing. So much that centuries later they continue to capture the public 's imagination. Not only is the period highly engaging but it teaches us the power of looking into the past for insights and inspiration. It also shows the importance of continual imagination. Also, the Renaissance thrived by connecting

When making decisions regarding who to choose as our next elected officials, one of the first qualities we scrutinize is their judgment, using our own judgment to do so. However, in a nonsecular society in which judgment of a religious authority is essentially the judgment of a divine power, there is significantly less room for scrutiny. The authority of any figure with political power stems from the judgment of the community over which it rules. For instance, if the community believes in the absolute authority of God, then the judgment of God is what gives the judgment of the church or any religious leader authority.

Martin Luther king Jr once said,“ I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration of freedom in the history of our nation.” He addressed these words on August of 1963 at the Lincoln Memorial after marching through the streets of Washington. He addressed segregation injustice and racial discrimination against African Americans that took place during his era, in his “I have a dream speech.” He recognized that american was founded on freedom, democracy where each individual has a voice and matters. Only few weeks back protesters were getting arrested for fighting for equality. Dr. King was addressing his speech to nation as a whole and not only those nearly 250,00 people were present that day. He
