  • Essay / Impact of Martin Luther - 1070

    "Luther was a German patriot. He was never a nationalist in the modern sense of the term. Luther was above all a pastor, professor of theology and emblematic figure of the Protestant Reformation. Luther has been variously identified as an advocate of absolute monarchy, democracy, individual liberty, intellectual repression, nationalism, internationalism, spirituality and secularism. His battles focused on theological issues. which may seem obscure to us but whose implications touched all areas of life, individual and collective. Some people consider Luther to be the apostle of absolutism, certain later autocrats have certainly claimed him as a founding father. Wilson, 2007 p. 19). Hergenhahn (2009) showed that "Luther was an Augustinian priest and a biblical scholar, he was disgusted by what Christianity had become in his time" (p. 101). Wilson et al., (2007) explain that “Luther then touched life. at all levels - the individual, the family, the Church, the State - and he did so not as a dry philosopher but as a fallible human being, in flesh and blood, distressed by the important problems he was facing. all his contemporaries. He was a theologian who lived his theology. He put the Bible at the center of everything and, in addition to applying it to every problem of prince and peasant, he tried to live it himself" (p. 24). "Luther, however, insisted on the fact that there was another, higher source of authority: the word of God written in the Bible. In his preaching and teaching – but especially in his public confrontations with spiritual and temporal leaders – he gave people permission to doubt everything the Catholic hierarchy taught; to judge it for themselves against the testimony of the Bible. Luther took... middle of paper... or forever - is another position than Luther's possible? " - Source unknown. In conclusion, Martin Luther was a great man. He showed his love for Christ even if it meant fighting good and evil. I believe today that the Roman Catholic Church is still trying to reincarnate him one way or another, of course, living in the New Testament as Luther wanted to purify the Church, I believe it is done In today's society, I can pick up my Bible and. read it whenever I want and discuss this word with my friends Of course, what worries me is that in the future we may not be able to do this “Fear not, for I. am with you; do not look anxiously around you, for I am your God, I will surely strengthen you, I will surely uphold you with my right hand” (Isaiah 41:10 New International Version.).
