Founder of the Lutheran Church? naaaahhhh!
He practically founded Protestantism, at least he inspired the Protestant Reformation. He broke from the Vatican alright. You know those born-again Christians? Well, their origins stems from the Protestant Movement in that, at the time, Rome forbade the reading of the Bible by non-sectarians much less the studying of it. It was a privilege reserved for the monks or priests.

I would recommend a short and very good book by Roland Bainton (available in paperback). The title is HERE IS STAND and it is a biography of Luther./
