Ob Martin Luthers Thesen am 31. Oktober 1517 tatsächlich an die Wittenberger Schlosskirche genagelt wurden, ist umstritten. Sicher ist allerdings, dass die Thesen durch Briefe und Nachdrucke in Windeseile verbreitet wurden. Was bis dahin in einem akademischen Disput nur allmählich bekannt geworden wäre, machten Buchdruck und Korrespondenz unter Humanisten zu einem öffentlichen Ereignis. In seinen Thesen wendet sich Luther gezielt gegen den Ablass.

 Martin Luther (1483 - 1546) is one of the most famous figures of the last 500 years. He was a monk and theologian who proved to be the pivotal figure of Protestant Reformation. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1507 but later came to reject several teachings and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, nailing his 95 Theses of 1517 to the church doors. He was excommunicated by the pope and started what has become one of the largest sects of Christianity.

Over 500 years ago, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg and launched the Protestant Reformation. At least, that's what the legend says. In A World Ablaze, Craig Harline introduces us to the flesh-and-blood Martin Luther. Harline tells the riveting story of the first crucial years of the accidental crusade. Luther was a sometimes-cranky friar and professor who worried endlessly about the fate of his eternal soul. He sought answers in the Bible and the Church fathers, and what he found distressed him even more - the way many in the Church had come to understand salvation was profoundly wrong, thought Luther....

At the beginning of the 16th century, a religious revolution shattered the outward appearance of conformity among Europe's Roman Catholics...a conformity that had been the basis of Western European unity for over a thousand years. Why did it happen? In this brilliant history, Professor Mosse exposes the crisis of the Papacy in preceeding centuries and shows how the need for reform was continually being delayed until it was simply too late.

Martin Luther's posting of the 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517, is one of the most famous events of Western history. It inaugurated the Protestant Reformation and has for centuries been a powerful and enduring symbol of religious freedom of conscience and of righteous protest against the abuse of power. But did it actually really happen? In this engagingly written, wide-ranging, and insightful work of cultural history, leading Reformation historian Peter Marshall reviews the available evidence and concludes that very probably, it did not.

The Renaissance, or rebirth, was a period of time when Europeans began to question what they had been told was sacrosanct. Through art, inventions, science, literature, and theology, the separate nations of the European continent sought answers that the Roman Catholic Church was unwilling, or perhaps unable, to offer. It was a triumph of the human spirit and a confirmation of human ability, even as it affirmed the willingness of men and women to die for the right to think freely.

Reformation, damit verbinden wir Ablassstreit, Thesenanschlag, schließlich die Abspaltung der Anhänger Martin Luthers vom Glaubenskanon der römischen Kirche. Doch jetzt liefert der Historiker Volker Reinhardt einen neuen Blick auf die Geschichte. Die Reformation, behauptet er in seinem Buch "Luther, der Ketzer", war weniger die Folge theologischer Differenzen als vielmehr die Konsequenz einer von Hass und Unverständnis geprägten jahrzehntelangen Auseinandersetzung zwischen kultivierten Römern und barbarischen Deutschen.

The Making of Martin Luther takes a provocative look at the intellectual emergence of one of the most original and influential minds of the 16th century.

Martin Luther is famous for the moment he nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, yet the scope of his influence on the modern world is hardly limited to that one act. He emerged as a leader of the Reformation, coming onto the European scene at a time when modes of thought were changing, adapting from the medieval norm of reliance on authoritative sources such as Aristotle to modern ideas of discovering knowledge through textual interpretation, experience, and experimentation.
