Martin Luther was born in Eisleben, Saxony which is located in Germany on November 10, 1483 (“Martin Luther- Biography”). Luther was born into humble living, with his parents were peasants. Luther’s dad was a miner and did not want his son to mine as well, so he sent Luther to school at the age of seven with hopes of him becoming a lawyer. Luther continued onto that path until he experienced a life-altering event. In 1505 Luther was caught in a thunderstorm and became so afraid he frantically prayed for mercy on his life. In his anguished prayer, he promised St. Anne (the patron Saint of miners) that he would become a monk if the storm subsided. The storm passed, and thus Luther’s journey began. Luther became a monk and spent several
Martin Luther’s strict upbringing provoked his view of God as being a harsh judge and impelled him to depart from law school at Erfurt to become a monk. Luther was born on November 10, 1483 in Eisleben, Germany where his father Hans started out as a farmer and eventually reached moderate wealth by owning copper mines. Hans would have never been able to attain these copper mines without marrying Margarete (Lindeman) Ziegler who came from a fairly prosperous family. From an early age Luther was destined to become a lawyer and his parents were committed to see their son succeed in life. Luther obeyed his father’s desire for him to become a lawyer therefore he was sent to the most prestigious schools in the area. Luther started out going to Latin
Martin Luther's contribution to the Church could easily be dismissed because he is well known as anti-Semitic. In truth, he was, as most people are, more complicated than this. Luther is a wonderful example of the Grace of God using imperfect people. Luther is history's best proponent of justification by grace, yet some of his views did not always reflect God's love. God has not changed, He still chooses the average person to advance His kingdom. And why shouldn't He, we are all He's got!
You don’t need a sociology degree to understand movements calcify into institutions, then decay and crumble. So as we near the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther’s nailing 95 thesis to a church door, why is the Reformation still a global movement?
Martin was born in Eisleben, Germany, on November 10th, 1483. His parents were Hans and Margarette Luther. As a baby he was baptized as a Catholic. He was just as normal as any other child, he went to school at Latin school of Mansfeld. His father wanted him to become a lawyer.
Two significant social and political changes Martin Luther helped bring about is the creation of local governments and the emphasis of families as a cornerstone to society instead of the church. After being excommunicated in 1520, Martin Luther was called to trial at the Imperial Diet of Worms on April 15th where he said the words “Here I stand; I can do no other. God help me. Amen” (Atkinson, 2004). In Wittenberg Luther’s stand at Imperial Diet of Worms was a symbolic importance to the people and incites them to act. This is one of the first glimmers of a social, economic, and political revolution. Luther’s teachings, just like a rumor, change slightly from one person to the next taking on a life of their own. When Luther decreed that the people should be free and not subject to the authority of human beings on the matter of faith, the people saw it as a call to arms for social change and perceived it to mean they should be free from their lords and restructure society. Communities across Germany took control of issues that was previously in the grasp of the church such as social discipline, relief of
Martin Luther was a Monk, Priest and Theologian born in late 1483 in the German town of Eisleben. His father owned a copper mine and had always wished for his son to go into civil service. When Luther was seventeen he arrived at the University of Erfurt. By 1502, Luther had already received his bachelor’s degree and by 1505 he had a Master’s degree. The same year, while returning to University, he was caught in a tremendous thunderstorm. A lightening bolt struck near him and terrified, he cried out, "Help, St. Anne! I'll become a monk!”. Luther lived, and keeping to his promise, he dropped out of university and entered the monastery.

There is where he earned his master's degree at the young age of twenty-one. (Erikson, 39) Although his father wished him to study law, Martin, after being terribly frightened in a thunderstorm, vowed to become a friar. In
Since it's earliest inception the Christian movement has functioned as a radical counter-cultural entity, at its core rests a profound sentiment of freedom. Despite this truth, arriving at a single definition of the concept of freedom may prove an arduous task when considering the complex global political, religious, social, and economic landscape of the period between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. This journey of thought will attempt to highlight the various forms that freedom assumes by exploring the relationship between Christianity and the quest for freedom from the position of three major historic events namely the reformation, secondly, the period of enlightenment, and finally, the transatlantic slave trade. The paper will seek

Martin Luther (November 10, 1483 - February 18, 1546) was a Christian theologian, Augustinian monk, professor, pastor, and church reformer whose teachings inspired the Lutheran Reformation and deeply influenced the doctrines of Protestant and other Christian traditions. Luther began the Protestant Reformation with the publication of his Ninety-Five Theses on October 31, 1517. In this publication, he attacked the Church's sale of indulgences. He advocated a theology that rested on God's gracious activity in Jesus Christ, rather than in human works. Nearly all Protestants trace their history back to Luther in one way or another. Luther's relationship to philosophy is complex and should not be judged only by his famous
