Martin Luther

1483 – 1546

Martin Luther (1483–1546) was a German theologian and reformer. Born in Eisleben, he studied law at the University of Erfurt, then entered the Augustinian order and trained in theology at Wittenberg. He is credible on this topic because he authored the original Reformation writings compiled in Works of Martin Luther, including his sermons, letters, and theological treatises. Notable works include “95 Theses” and “The Bondage of the Will.”
