Synopsis: Who was Martin Luther and what did he do? There was really nothing that seemed unusual in what Martin Luther had done that made his name known throughout the 16th Century world and to our day and age. The church door was often used as a bulletin board for notices or conversation starters for academic discussion. Little did Luther realize that his actions on October 31, 1517, would mark the beginning of the protestant reformation of the church and a return of the pure word of God to the people of the world. With illustrations and direct quotes from Martin Luther himself, this fascinating book will help you understand the real person behind the Reformation. You'll also learn about the world in which Luther lived, and how he changed that world—and ours—forever.The Life and Faith of Martin Luther is split into 16 chapters about Martin Luther's life: Introduction The Time In Which Luther Lived The Peasant's Son The School Boy The University Student The Monk The Professor and Preacher The Reformer The Accused The Knight The Leader The Schoolman The Musician and Poet The Husband and Father The Defender of the Faith The Death of the Faithful Believer Our Heritage
