Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Link: October 1964 How many of us who call ourselves Protestants could describe clearly what the Reformation was? Could we, if asked, tell when and where it began, and why? In spite of our hazy recollections about it, the Reformation had tremendous effect on what we believe today and how we act. Two actions of a German Catholic monk named Martin Luther are pertinent to any discussion of the Reformation. On October 31, 1517, Luther nailed ninety-five theses to a church door in Wittenberg. These theses were simply propositions concerning certain practices in the church of that day about which Luther disagreed and on which he was willing to debate. Little did he foresee that this act would pinpoint the beginning of a revolutionary movement which would alter the history of the world. Four years later the emperor, Charles V, summoned Luther before the governing - body the Diet of Worms. He was accused of holding heretical doctrines and ordered to recant. In a speech delivered first in Latin and then in German, he refused to obey. Charles V was unable to understand either language. He demanded from Luther "a plain answer." "Your majesty," responded Luther, "I cannot recant unless I am proved wrong by the Holy Scripture or adequate argument. I cannot act in opposition to the dictates of my conscience and the Word of God. Here I stand. So help me God, I can do no other!" Martin Luther did not begin the Reformation, but he ignited the spark of a movement which split Western Christendom into two camps and influenced religious thinking for all time to come. Many of the key ideas of the Reformers - Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Knox, and others - are still alive. Consider four of the cardinal insights of the Reformation and their relevance for our day.
