martin luther not to be confused with martin luther king (nov. 10 1483-feb. 18 1546) was a german priest and professr of theology who initiated the protestant reformation. he strongly disputed the claim that freedom from god's punishment of sin could be purchased
luther taught that salvation is not earned by good deeds but received as a free gift by grace through faith in jesus christ as redeemer from sin.his theology challanged the authority of the pope of the roman catholic church by teaching that the bible is the only source of divinly revealed knowledge .those who inentify with luther's teachings are called lutherans.
in later years , while suffering from several illnesses, luther became increasingly antisemitic insisting that jewish homes should be destroyed and their synagogues as well, these staments have contributed to his controversal status..
