Abstract
Examines the religious ideas of the two leaders of the Protestant Reformation. Social changes of the 16th Century. Luther's challenge to the Church. His concepts of Revelation, faith and the relationship between humanity and God. Calvin's amplification of Luther's ideas. Doctrinal differences between Lutheranism and Calvinism. Calvin's belief in predestination.
From the Paper
"Martin Luther (1483-1546) and John Calvin (1509-1564) were two of the principal leaders of the Protestant Reformation that transformed Western Europe in the sixteenth century. In the German states of the early sixteenth century there was "a combination of circumstances favourable to rebellion," the agricultural peasantry was oppressed and impoverished and the rest of the society strained against the domination of the Church and the excesses of ecclesiastical-temporal rulers of many bishoprics and monasteries (Sykes 28). Yet the form of the vast social change that eventually occurred was very different from outright armed rebellion against the civil or even the ecclesiastical authorities. There were minor peasants' revolts, it is true, but in general social change began in the arena of spiritual matters and this is due almost entirely to Luther's ..."

Abstract
This essay discusses how Martin Luther diverged theologically from the Catholic Church, the ways in which Zwingli?s and Calvin?s theology differed from Luther?s, and the long terms effects of the Protestant Reformation movement on European politics and society. Martin Luther, Ulrich Zwingli, and John Calvin were the central figures in the Protestant Reform Movement of the 16th century. Since Luther had initiated the process of religious reform and taken a bold stand against the hitherto all-powerful Roman Church, he is widely considered to be one of the most crucial figures in modern Western history with his influence extending beyond religion into politics, economics, and education.
Zwingli and Calvin also played significant roles in simplifying the Christian theology and in consolidating the Protestant Reform movement in Europe, though they had their theological differences with Luther.
From the Paper
"The Roman Catholic Church and the papacy based in Rome had enjoyed an enormous amount of power in Europe and the rest of Western civilization for over a thousand years until a young German monk named Martin Luther (1483-1546) sparked off the Reformation movement of the 16th century in 1517."

From the Paper
"The Civil Rights Movement in its contemporary form started in 1955 with an act of mild disobedience by a black woman on a bus in the Deep South. Black leaders developed several strategies over the next few years, strategies that would be successful in changing laws and in getting some of the long-standing discriminatory institutions of the South changed. Between 1954 and 1965, the Civil Rights Movement developed into a major movement for social justice, societal change, and self-determination for millions of black Americans. The tactics undertaken by the movement have ranged from violent to nonviolent, with nonviolent predominating under the direction of Martin Luther King Jr. and his followers. The movement started first around the busing issue in Montgomery, Alabama, but it was also the culmination of decades of frustration nearly a century ..."

How did Martin Luther King evoke Fear?
How did Martin Luther King transform Society?
Conclusion
From the Paper
"When one examines Martin Luther King's actions and methods through the lens of love and faith it is easier to understand his philosophy. He was not a complete pacifist as many believe and was appalled at the atrocities that blacks had to endure. He felt that it was acceptable to defend yourself, especially when one's loved ones were threatened. His underlying reason for pursuing his dream was out of love for the black people. His faith gave him the ability to exude a confidence that was transferred to the crowd. It was love and faith that plummeted Mr., King to develop his plan that would help change the image of black Americans. Malcolm X saw the differences that King made with his philosophy based on faith and love,. Martin Luther King's methods taught the world that they could live together in a less colorblind world."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"In the days of Martin?s theological studies as a monk, he studied the bible rigorously. One passage in the bible stood out in his mind: ?The just shall live by faith.? One of Luther?s first assignments as a monk was to join another monk in a trip to Rome. In Martin Luther?s mind Rome was a sacred place. Instead of a sacred place Luther saw a place of wickedness, greed, crime and corruption (Harper). Luther states: ?Where God builds a church, the Devil puts a chapel next door.? He also stated: ?The closer to Rome,the worse the Christians.? "

Martin Luther, 2006.

Abstract
This paper looks at the ideas Martin Luther shared in his narrative that is featured in "Martin Luther: Selections From His Writings". The writer maintains that Luther's substance and style made very logical and straightforward the Christian tenets that the Roman Catholic Church had put forth as dogmatic and dreary. The writer claims that for those able to digest Luther's profundity and intellectual vigor, it is shown that the path to understanding the Word of God (through Christ) does not lead through fields of dogma and fear. Rather, one can find peace through Christ simply by believing in the righteous truths Christ and his apostles put forward. The writer explains that salvation is available through faith and truth and righteousness based on Christ's life and doctrine, not through questionable man-made creeds designed to control and manipulate society.
From the Paper
"There are many aspects of his tome which are extremely impressive - beyond the fact of their truthfulness and poignancy. One of those aspects is his passion in regards to fully explaining why he is writing Pope Leo is remarkable. Luther is very vivid and direct in the energy he expends through the written word. In presenting his case, he writes that he is so inflamed with the desire that truth be known, he has no choice but to lash out in the name of a correct interpretation of Christianity. This presentation may sound conceited and arrogant in hindsight (by saying he was above those who challenged him), but Luther really had no alternative, given that his back was against the wall."

Abstract
This paper looks at five significant historical figures (Alexander the Great, Hannibal, Jesus, Muhammad, and Magellan) and compares their accomplishments and influence to those of Martin Luther. The paper?s thesis question is: Was Martin Luther a bad ass? This question is answered on a historical basis as his actions and achievements are categorized and compared with the five individuals listed above. It also looks at Luther?s achievement in 21st Century frame of mind. It focuses on his last influence in all aspects of modern life.
From the Paper
"Carter Lindberg states in his book The European Reformations, ?An initial move to control the complicated and multifaceted reality of the Reformation is to define the terms used for it and the era it covers.? In order to secure Luther in the annuals of history as a ?bad ass?, one must not only clarify the characteristics of that title, but also view his accomplishments in a 21st Century frame of reference. First, it should be determined which historical figures might fall into the category of being labeled a ?bad ass.? At this point, the common characteristics of a historical ?bad ass? will become evident. Second, after determining these characteristics, they then must be applied to Luther and the result will be forthcoming."

Abstract
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."

Martin Luther King and Lao Tzu, 2004.
Compares the philosophies of two great leaders, Martin Luther King and Chinese Lao Tzu.

Abstract
Martin Luther King of the modern United States and Lao-Tzu of ancient China were two great philosophers whose great differences stemmed from their core beliefs. The paper shows that Lao-Tzu believed that the way for humankind to achieve happiness was to connect fully with nature and to not try to control everyday events. It shows, in comparison, that Martin Luther King believed that humankind should confront evil and correct the wrongs of the world.
From the Paper
"King?s philosophy was more in line with that of Confucius, who believed that people must make a social difference. However, Lao-Tzu?s approach to ?do nothing? was not the same as King?s approach to ?do nothing? when demonstrators were attacked. Lao-Tzu?s view was mystical. He would have recognized that while Martin Luther?s King?s approach may have appeared to be ?doing nothing? at first, actually it was the final action of an elaborate plan designed to make a very big social difference. It started with King?s followers educating the activists very careful about the philosophy of non-violence. They planned where they would demonstrate, and when. They planned what they would wear and exactly what they would do when they ?did nothing.?"

Abstract
This study will discover the implied audiences of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, and seek to understand, in their speeches, whom exactly they were both trying to speak too. This implies an audience with conservative whites who may have been in mind when these great speakers sent out their message. By studying the approach of rhetoric in their speeches, we can quickly see why they depicted different, but similar messages in their speeches. The two speeches from both men are: "Letter from Birmingham Jail" by MLK, and "The Black Revolution." By Malcolm X. IN analyzing these means of communication, we can see the message pf fear that Malcolm X sent out to his audience, and the contrasting message of Love that Martin Luther King brought out to his white audience.

Abstract
Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X had a similar dream. It was a dream that one day their people would become free from the control of prejudice and racism. The paper explains that they had a dream that their children would not have to deal with the oppression that was present in their time. It points out that instead of being judged by their color, they wished to be judged by their character. They shared a common struggle, however, they differed greatly in the way they chose to reach their goals. They were driven to speak out to people, who were not yet ready to listen to such radical messages. It concludes that Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were leaders in their time, but will remain legends forever.
From the Paper
"Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were both leaders of organizations, and had dreams that they never saw fulfilled. However, they had very different plans. Martin Luther King Jr. was a man who spoke out to all humanity and preached non-violent social strategies (MLK Online). Martin Luther King Jr. once said, " I have a dream, a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self evident: That all men are created equal" (Mecca). Malcolm X once spoke of a violent revolution, which would bring about radical change for the black race. Malcolm X stated, "concerning nonviolence, it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks" (Cmgww). Both Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X were men of wisdom, but they were two very different individuals."

Abstract
This paper discusses Martin Luther King, Jr who changed the face of an entire nation through diplomacy that was hardly ever used in the country's past. The paper aims to prove that Martin Luther King Jr. was an influential figure during African-American Civil Rights Movement in the middle of the twentieth century and that his actions were the catalyst for the results that ensued for the black population of the United States.
From the Paper
"Martin Luther King Jr. was a positive contributor to the African-American Civil Rights movement. Through his accomplishments during a very tumultuous time he was able to lead a significant change to archaic laws, and allow many people to be entitled to their basic civil rights in a free and democratic society. He led many marches and acts of civil disobedience that were directed towards the injustice that the Black American population was facing, often with positive results. Through his non-violent resistance tactics he was able to improve the quality of life for Black people in the United States. He aided in effectively ending segregation in public areas, schools and public transportation with the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He aided in changing the law to permit Black people to vote in elections with the passing of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, especially in the Deep South where it was extremely difficult for Blacks to vote. With his assassination on April 4, 1968 in Memphis Tennessee, it brought an end to an extremely successful and exceptional career in the fight against prejudice and social inequality. Martin Luther King Jr. achievements will never be forgotten."

?What Would Martin Luther King Say?, 2005.
This paper explains that underneath the surface of President Clinton's 1993 speech "What Would Martin Luther King Say", presented to an audience of black ministers in Memphis are some ugly social comments.

Abstract
The paper stresses that President Bill Clinton's Speech "What Would Martin Luther King Say" failed to address the fact that the destruction of families in black culture, which he condemns as a cause of crime, is closely tied to a racially discriminatory war on drugs, overwhelming poverty and lack of access to birth control methods. The author points out that throughout the speech, Clinton was putting words into Martin Luther King's mouth that King himself would never have spoken, such as condemning ghetto violence while simultaneously subtly claiming that the military is the answer to the black man's problem, which are directly opposite to the basic tenets of King's philosophy. The paper relates that a third major flaw is that Clinton addresses the black ministers with a severe racial hubris, never making any mention of the racial differences that might call into question his naive brotherly demeanor.
From the Paper
"The president does not criticize continued educational inequality, disparity in income and treatment within the justice system, or continued racial segregation in every sector of society except, perhaps, the military (where lower-income black soldiers serve and die in disparate large numbers -- they represent 22% of soldiers and 12% of the population, according to IMDiversity.com.) His gall is turned entirely on a perceived moral decay in the black American community, and here he focuses on stories of young black males committing crimes and young black women having children out of wedlock, speaking out about the lack of "structure, role-modeling, discipline..." in black families. After discussing Martin Luther King's supposed pride in the strides made so far in our culture, Clinton moved immediately to discussing a recent case in which a 13-year-old black child committed murder with an automatic weapon, killing other children."
