95: The Ideas That Birthed the Reformation
Martin LutherPaperback 2017-07-21
In 1517, an unknown Augustinian monk, informed by his growing belief that salvation is by faith alone, published and distributed a stark criticism of papal abuses in the Catholic Church. In doing so, Martin Luther lit the spark for what would become the Protestant Reformation.
What became known as the "95 Theses" was a series of statements expressing concern with corruption within the church, primarily the selling of "indulgences" to the people as a means of releasing them from acts of penitence.
Commemorating the five hundredth anniversary of Luther's revolutionary writing, this volume matches each of the theses with an excerpt from one of his later works, offering easy access to the key ideas that catalysed the Protestant Reformation.
