Martin Luther and the Printing of the Luther Bible

During history many people have had an impact on the religious movement in the world. One of the most recognizable figures in the history of religion was a German priest named Martin Luther, who helped bring about the Protestant Reformation in the 16th Century.

Biography

Martin Luther was born on November 10, 1483 in Eisleben, Germany. At the age of nineteen, Luther enrolled in the University of Erfurt in Germany. Luther had developed a love and respect of philosophy and theology, and began studying the works of past experts in the fields. A near death experience in 1505 led Luther to join a monetary and he began the journey of dedicating his life to others. In 1507, Luther was ordained as a Priest. Shortly thereafter, Luther began teaching philosophy and theology.

During this time, Martin Luther started to write on the subject of theology, and began to become widely known as an expert on the subject. Luther began to object to common church practices and his writings began to take the tone of the need for reformation in the church. In 1517, Luther wrote about the church’s indulgences and was the impetus for the Protestant Reformation.

Luther broke away from the Catholic Church and began to gain a following. Luther and his followers formed the first protestant church, which had its own bible, prayers and services. With the formation of the first protestant church, Luther became leader of the church reform, which led to other branching off of the Catholic Church. Martin Luther continued to be leader of the church until his death in 1546.
