Alisi+Tuiavii+Martin+Luther

Martin Luther was born into a catholic family.His parents intended for him a law career but instead he become a monk and theology professor.This started protestantism. He nailed a 95 theses against indulgence abuse on every door of the roman catholic church. He struggled mightily with a guilty conscience.He had a intense fear of God until he realized the doctrine of justification by faith while studying the book of Romans. This doctrine, with his conviction that the Bible should be the basis of religious life, became the theological foundation of Protestantism.Luther was not the first churchman to come to this conclusion.He sparkled a religous and political reform in Germany.He also believed that the Bible should be available to all.With his strong personallity,He took up the tools of pen and the pulpit to go against the corruptions of catholicism on one side and on the other side the extremes of radical reformation.He spoke out against clerical celibacy, papal abuses, the denying of the scriptures and the comunion wine to non-clergy, the cult of the saints, salvation by works and other catholic doctrines.Yet Luther retained the traditional elements of the church that other reformers rejected.He was strongly influenced by the writings of augustine and stressed humanities sinfulness, Gods Grace , and the sufficiency of faith in christ for salvation.He translated the new testement into German.History remembers him as father of reformations.He made a major contribution to the development of written German.In other words he was a great man of faith.(this was meant to be a summary not a retell).
