 To understand the Reformation August 12, 2007
This book is a key document for all those (students, professors, ministers, scholars) who are interested in understanding the Reformation from its very beginning. Which were Luther's (and many theologians' and clerks') demands at the beginning of the 16th. century? The major answers to this question are in this booklet, written by the great Reformer's own hands.
 Founding Protestant May 21, 2007
This book is a few pages long is bound in pamplet form. Contains 95 passages. This really attacks the Catholic church that he saw atrocities in at the time. I got the impression he was trying to say that the Pope is not the iotola of religion.
historical and theological beauty April 6, 2007
The language of these is not easy to read, but beautiful to consider. We take most of these ideas for granted, or try to make more out of them than was included in these theses. The historical and personal risk Luther took to post these on the doors of his church should inspire and humble us all.
The 95 theses began the reformation of the Christian faith. Up to the point of these writings, the Church had been largely unchecked in her errors. Debates may have stayed private, were it not for a courageous minister. Luther did not intend to leave his beloved church, but hoped to change the ideas and behaviors which distracted her from the word of God.
These were posted on a church, for the church, but their impact has reached to the farthest corners of modern hearts.
Gotta have! January 11, 2007
This text is a concise review of exactly the points Martin Luther raised to confront a corrupt deMedici controlled catholic church. As with the Bible, it's always best to go back to the original.
