Martin Luther: The Outset of Reform and Protestantism
Abstract
Luther played an influential role in the religious reformation in Germany where he was interested in Studying the different intellectual currents prevalent in his age such as mysticism, and the human philosophy.Luthers revolution was not a normal one against corrupt rule or bad social situation. But rather, it was a revolution against a thelogic system that lost its credibility. Luther concluded from his religious readings that the Christians could not gain salvation thanks to their personal efforts but through a mercy from God for they believe in Him. This conclusion pushed him to reject some basic principles and beliefs in Catholic Church. So Luther distinguished himself in Christian history, for he was the man who saved the Christians from the papal au-thorities and brought them back to the freedom of religion. Luther himself led the schism that lasted in America, Britian and Germany up till the presentday.
