Summary |
This 19th-century history of the Protestant Reformation in Germany covers Martin Luther's activities from the start of the 16th century to the Edict of Worms, which declared him a heretic. This period of Luther's life was marked by vast and rapid change. His 95 theses, originally written in Latin as a scholarly objection to current church practices, were translated into German and became a popular manifesto of protest. Luther formulated his famous doctrine of "sola fide," or justification by faith alone, and later rejected papal authority altogether. This led to him being branded a heretic and excommunicated by Pope Leo X. |
