=﻿Martin Luther=

Summary:
Martin Luther was born into a strict Catholic family in the year 1483. His family wanted him to persue a career in law but he decided to become a monk. Martin was quite scared of God until he found the doctorine "justification by faith" while reading the book of Romans. He believed that the Bible should be the basis of religious life and that became the foundation of Protestantism. Martin Luther had a very strongwilled and militant personality and used it to speak out against the Catholic practices and beliefs that he believed to be wrong. He was strongly influenced by the writings of Augustine and preached about humanities sinfulness, God's grace and "the sufficiency of faith in Christ for salvation". Martin translated the New Testament into German and he is fondly remembered by history as the "Father of the Reformation".
