LUTHER

== BIO:Martin Luther was born to peasant stock on November 10, 1483 in Eisleben in the Holy Roman Empire – in what is today eastern Germany. Soon after Luther’s birth, his family moved from Eisleben to Mansfeld. His father was a relatively successful miner and smelter and Mansfeld was a larger mining town. Martin was the second son born to Hans and Magarete (Lindemann) Luther. Two of his brothers died during outbreaks of the plague. One other brother, James, lived to adulthood.Hans Luther decided that he would do whatever was necessary to see that Martin could become a lawyer. Hans saw to it that Martin started school in Mansfeld probably around seven. The school stressed Latin and a bit of logic and rhetoric. ==

BRIEF:
German theologian, professor, pastor, and church reformer. Luther began the Protestant Reformation with the publication of his  Ninety five Theses  on October 31, 1517. In this publication, he attacked the Church’s sale of indulgences. He advocated a theology that rested on God’s gracious activity in Jesus Christ, rather than in human works. Nearly all Protestants trace their history back to Luther in one way or another. Luther’s relationship to philosophy is complex and should not be judged only by his famous statement that “reason is the devil’s whore.Given Luther’s critique of philosophy and his famous phrase that philosophy is the “devil’s whore,” it would be easy to assume that Luther had only contempt for philosophy and reason. Nothing could be further from the truth. Luther believed, rather, that philosophy and reason had important roles to play in our lives and in the life of the community. However, he also felt that it was important to remember what those roles were and not to confuse the proper use of philosophy with an improper one.He was one of the important philospersrs out there.

Quotes:one have his quotes were:
1."To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing."2."Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times."

3."Prayer is a strong wall and fortress of the church; it is a goodly Christian weapon."

4."To gather with God's people in united adoration of the Father is as necessary to the Christian life as prayer."5."Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying."
