Martin Luther

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses one of the greatest Protestant reformers, Martin Luther, including details of his life, his work, and his influence on modern Protestant religion. Martin Luther was probably the greatest reformer of all religious history. His break with the Catholic Church in Rome created a new branch of Christianity and a new way for religious theologians to look at worship and religious freedom. He was a great thinker and a great religious reformer.

From the Paper:

"As his ideas took hold, other clerics and religious leaders began to break away from the Catholic Church and form other branches of Protestantism. Admittedly, the time was ripe for change, and it was inevitable change and religious belief would grow and spread away from the Catholic Church, as other historians note, "In a sense the Protestant revolt, and the larger movement of which it was but the chief symptom, the expansion of the human mind, was inevitable. In another sense, equally true, it was the courage and genius of a great man which made it possible." However, Luther was the first the real father of the Reformation, and the father of religious change."
