Martin Luther entered a monastery as a youth and as a man shattered the structure of the medieval church, speaking out against the corrupt religious practices of the time.

Accused of heresy and threatened with excommunication and death, Luther maintained his bold stand and refused to recant. In his crusade to eliminate religious abuses, he did more than any other man to establish the Protestant faith.

For Luther, the crucial issue was the ability of free will, and the extent to which it is subject to God's sovereignty.

Recognizing Paul’s words to the Galatians as crucial to understanding the truth of God’s saving grace, Martin Luther set out to examine this great work verse by verse, especially for those led astray by the teachings of false gospels.

Am 31. Oktober 1517 veröffentlichte Martin Luther seine 95 Thesen – gedacht als Diskussionsgrundlage über die kirchlichen Ablasspraktiken. Doch was als akademische Disputation begann, wurde zum Auslöser der Reformation und markierte einen Wendepunkt der Weltgeschichte. Luthers Thesen prangern kirchliche Missstände an, hinterfragen die Autorität des Papstes und fordern die Rückbesinnung auf den Kern des Glaubens. Bis heute sind diese Sätze ein Dokument geistiger Unabhängigkeit und theologischer Klarheit.
