Martin Luther - 1485-1985 1935 was a year of celebration for Luthe- rans around the world. November 10. 1935 marked the 500th anniversary of the father of the reformation. Luther was born and later died in Eisleben. Germany. but spent his childhood in Mansfield where his father had a small foundry. He later attended a school in E' enaeh. and then enrulled in the University in Erfurt. Luther's organized religious life began in 1505 when he entered into the Augustinian Order of the Hermits. The story gees that he was caught in a thunderstorm while travel- ling back to Erfurt after a short visit with his parents. He was so frightened when a lightening bolt struck close to him that he cried out to St. Anne Fm- hclp. Help me St. Anne and I will become a monk. He survived the storm. and thus commit ted himself to a very strict religious life. Though he took the holy vows of priest- hood, Martin Luther favored the academic rather than the ministering life. He became a professor of moral philosophy at the Umv versity nf Wittenberg. When he wasn't teaching. he was continuing his. own studies in theology and the ancient languages of Hebrew and Greek of lecturing to other monestaries. 12 Martin Luther Luther is known to ux LUdA-Y fur thia tacho- lttrly approach to relitiimt.

In reading Rtstnztm 1:167 17 in which Paul ttphulds the t'itihtentthness of God as revealed in the Gospels. Luther suddenly realized that God was a forgiving God of Grace bestowing the gift of salvation. and not a judgmental father whose wrath was to be feared. This realizatinn set the stage for Luther'a rcpugnance t0 the sole uf indulgenees which was Step 1 in his criti- eism ur his church. The posting of the 95 Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Willenberg on. October 51, 1517 was the first actual move made by Luther the Reformer. In those theses Luther painted to the wrong idea that the purchase of an indulgence can replace repentance. He also added another branch to his critique when he emphasized the rule of the Holy Gospel 6th the ' true treasure u? the ehtn'eh't In the following years. church haulers from Rome tried to jlti'ilitltlt mum: Luther to recent. hut the attempts were t'tttile.
