He was from Germany and was apart of the 1600s Christian movement. He was the son of Hans Luder and his wife Margarethe, born in 1483 November 10. Him and his family moved from Eislebel, Saxony to Mansfield He was a catholic monk and priest who was well educated. He was well educated, attending the University of Frankfurt where he received his master’s degree in 1505. He later went into law school upon his fathers wishes and was deeply influenced by two tutors von Usingen and Trutfetter although he would later drop out of law school. They taught him to be suspicious of even the greatest thinkers and leaders. He found his studies to be unfulfilling and was more interested in religion then reason as he fought that reason did not lead men to god.  Oscarrrrrrrrr https://padlet.com/Oscarrrrrrrrr/Martinluther/wish/31885241 2014-08-21 02:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/Oscarrrrrrrrr/Martinluther/wish/31885241 He decided to abandon his education when one night he was riding home and was almost struck by lightning. He thought this was a message from god that he was neglecting religion. When he finally arrived back home he told his family about his near death experience and how he prayed to be a monk. Luther then dedicated his life to the church. His life became very monastic, it consisted of long hours of prayers and confessions, and he went on many pilgrimages. He found himself in spiritual despair as he felt he had lost touch with religion and Christ. During this time he believed that repentance does not come from self inflicted harm or punishment but was about the changing of ones heart.   Oscarrrrrrrrr https://padlet.com/Oscarrrrrrrrr/Martinluther/wish/31885275 2014-08-21 02:17:29 UTC https://padlet.com/Oscarrrrrrrrr/Martinluther/wish/31885275 Lutheran Symbol Oscarrrrrrrrr https://padlet.com/Oscarrrrrrrrr/Martinluther/wish/31885349 2014-08-21 02:18:55 UTC https://padlet.com/Oscarrrrrrrrr/Martinluther/wish/31885349 Martin Luther differed from most Catholic Priests of his time because of the way he view repentance and bribery. The church of his time claimed that a person could be absolved of all his crimes if they where to give a large charitable donation to the church. Although it is now seen as bribery it was not in Luther’s mind, the correct way for someone to receive redemption. He believed that if some was to seek redemption from the church they should not have to pay them for it. Not only did he believe that this was morally wrong and extortion of the people, he also believed that this was against gods will to accept bribes in return for salvation. He said that, "Forgiveness is god’s alone to grant, those who claimed that indulgences absolved buyers from all punishments and granted them salvation were in error."  Oscarrrrrrrrr https://padlet.com/Oscarrrrrrrrr/Martinluther/wish/31885885 2014-08-21 02:28:52 UTC https://padlet.com/Oscarrrrrrrrr/Martinluther/wish/31885885 Old Martin Luther Oscarrrrrrrrr https://padlet.com/Oscarrrrrrrrr/Martinluther/wish/31887621 2014-08-21 02:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/Oscarrrrrrrrr/Martinluther/wish/31887621 Martin Luther promoted new ideas within religion as well as creating a whole new one. The church had previously been very close minded about handling repentance only accepting cash donation as the only way to rid oneself. This was thought as absolute and there would be no way around this. Luther made great pushes to rid churches and religions of this corruption. As he made an open push to rid these churches of bribery he was excommunicated the priests of these churches claimed that he was angering god with his blasphemy. He worked for change after being excommunicated by organising a new church. Luther wanted a church based on personal faith and experience, but to avoid angering the masses he choose not to incorporate any radical changes in the church. Throughout his career as a priest he consistently angered many churches with his radical new beliefs. Most notably the Catholic Church as he had once belonged to it and was excommunicated because of his actions.

His opposition of the corrupt churches of his time is an admirable desire. It showed how much he supported his own faith and that of Jesus Christ that he would go against the church. Being branded a heretic and blasphemous, he still continued to have faith in religion. The main thing taken away from the life and story of Martin Luther is that you should never accept injustice around you. Even one man can make a huge change to the way a system is run.
