The Journey Of Martin Luther's Life

Martin Luther was a man of great thought and constantly went against the feelings and views of other people of his time. Martin Luther was born on November 10th in 1483, in the Saxon town of Eisleben located in Germany. Martin was born of mother Margrethe, who many of his enemies thought of as being a whore and a bath attendant, yet Martin recalled her later on in life as someone who was hardworking and very able and willing to punish him if he had done wrong. Martin Luther grew up in the middle-class range and wasn't born into great wealth like many other great scholars of his time were like such as Girolamo Savonarola, who's family was rich before his birth around Luther’s time. Martin Luther’s father's name was Han's Luder, which later

Martin Luther grew up in a home with very strict parents. As a result, Luther’s childhood was plagued with anxiety at home and at school. Because his father planned for him to become a lawyer, shortly after receiving a Master of Arts degree from Erfurt University he returned to the university to study law. Consequently, after a life threatening experience in a storm, Luther left the university and joined a monastery. In 1505, Luther became an Augustinian monk and subsequently became a priest in 1507. According to John Dillenberger, “Luther was extremely sensitive to the problem of how to become worthy to receive the grace of God rather than the damning consequences of His righteousness”.

The world into which Martin Luther was born on November 10, 1483, was in the midst of great change. In Western European history, the Middle Ages (roughly from 400 to 1400) had been an age of walls and of faith. Around each little town men had built massive stone walls against the evils outside. Inside these walls, medieval people knew their place. They were craftsmen, noblemen, churchmen, farmers, and knights. They did not question their duties because they were safe and had faith in the way things were run.

Martin Luther was born on November 10th, 1483 to Hans and Margarethe Luther. He was born in Eisleben, Germany near the Hartz Mountains. He was born in a common middle age house, high roof that was all red tile, windows made of a substance called horn, or a translucent type of marble, and dirt floors. Even though Luther was born in Eisleben, he was only raised there until he was six months old. When he was six months old his family moved to Mansfeld, Germany. Here Luther’s father became a successful miner. His father took Luther to school while he was still very young. Martin lived in the village’s lower half, and the school was located in the upper part. This resulted in Luther’s father carrying Luther to school every day, and when his father didn’t a young man carried him. This young man ended up marrying one of Luther’s sisters. The teachers in Luther’s school were very strict. Once Luther got whipped fifteen times because he didn’t learn a lesson that was given to him. When Martin was fourteen he attended school in Magdeburg, Germany. When he turned eighteen he got into the University of Erfurt. There he studied to be a lawyer, because

Martin Luther was born in Eisleben, Saxony, which is now Germany in 1483. Martin’s parents are Hans and Margaretta Luther. Both of his parents were peasants. His father was a hard worker he started off in the mines and ended up owning several small mines. Hans Luther became a small scales businessman. Martin went the Latin school at Mansfeld in 1490. Then he went to Magdeburg in 1497. Then he went to Eisenach in 1498. Martin’s father wanted him to be a lawyer to keep the success going in there family, which his father had started. Martin enrolled at the University of Erfurt in 1501. He received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1502 and a master of arts in 1505. That same year he enrolled in the instructors of law. In between the years of 1503 and 1505, he went through a religion change that took him away from being a lawyer.

This study of Martin Luther is brought about through the many books written about him. As a whole most of the books all give much the same account of his life. I found that the Catholic encyclopedia gives remarkable insight to the work that he pursued. Some things, of course are left out of their account of his life. We have made two trips to Witenburg just to study his life, and at least a dozen trips to Rome in which we found that there was mixed reports of what went on when he visited the eternal city.
