Martin Luther’s 95 Theses
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The Protestant Reformation began in Wittenberg, Germany, on October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther, a teacher and a monk, published a document he called Disputation on the Power of Indulgences, or 95 Theses. The document was a series of 95 ideas about Christianity that he invited people to debate with him.
Detailed explanation-2: -On October 31, 1517, legend has it that the priest and scholar Martin Luther approaches the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, and nails a piece of paper to it containing the 95 revolutionary opinions that would begin the Protestant Reformation.
Detailed explanation-3: -His “95 Theses, ‘’ which propounded two central beliefs-that the Bible is the central religious authority and that humans may reach salvation only by their faith and not by their deeds-was to spark the Protestant Reformation.
Detailed explanation-4: -The iconic first thesis states, “When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, ‘Repent, ‘ he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.” In the first few theses Luther develops the idea of repentance as the Christian’s inner struggle with sin rather than the external system of sacramental confession.
