Who was Martin Luther?

Question

I need help on writing a paper on Martin Luther

NOT MARTIN LUTHER KING

Answer 1

German priest and scholar whose questioning of certain church practices led to the Protestant Reformation. He is one of the pivotal figures of Western civilization, as well as of Christianity. By his actions and writings he precipitated a movement that was to yield not only one of the three major theological units of Christianity (along with Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy) but was to be a seedbed for social, economic, and political thought.

Answer 2

Martin Luther: He formed the protestant church
Rev. Martin Luther King: A Priest
Martin Luther King Jr: The guy who got the busses to rescpect blacks and said he had a dream

Answer 3

OK.. Martin Luther was a German priest who had some issues with the Catholic Church and separated from it. The Lutheran faith bears his name. There were 95 issues that Luther found with the church and the current Lutheran faith conforms to his ideals. I think that this occurred in the 1600s.

He had nothing to do with MLK, Jr.

Answer 4

He was a German Catholic monk who questioned the then common practice of selling indulgences by the church. Indulgences were basically tickets to heaven. He opined that judgment and grace lies in God's hands, not the church leadership's and that each individual has the power to save himself. This was considered heresy by the church and he was excommunicated and persecuted. His 96 Theses lead to the Reformation, which was the origin of the Protestant faiths.
