From the Paper:

"Eventually Martin Luther left the Monastery in Erfurt and joined another Monastery in Wittenberg. While living in Wittenburg, Luther earned a degree and theology and gained employment as a professor at the University of Wittenburg. While lecturing at the University, Luther began to form and express some of his opinions concerning salvation. One of the issues that Martin Luther had with the concept of salvation and the Catholic Church had to do with the concept of grace as opposed to deeds being the justification for salvation. It was during a series of lecture on Romans that Martin Luther came to the epiphany that Grace was a gift from God. "
