Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Luther Statue: At the National Capital, History Unveiling Addresses The unveiling of a statue of Martin Luther, the first in the United States, and in the Nation´s Capital, marks an epoch in the history of Protestantism. It is fitting that this first statue of the Reformer should stand among the monuments that beautify the Capital of our Republic, a republic which, under God, but for Luther, had not been. Michelet, the Catholic historian of France, calls Luther "the restorer of liberty in modern times, the liberator of modern thought." Our own Webster says "the assertion and maintenance of religious liberty have their source in the Reformation of Luther, and this love of religious liberty brings with it an ardent devotion to the principles of civil liberty." The foundations of our Republic lie back of the Declaration of Independence, even beyond Plymouth Rock and the May-flower; they were laid by the granite, Alpine man of faith and of courage at Erfurt and Wittenberg and Worms. When Columbus discovered this Western world and dedicated it to Christ, Luther was a boy at Eisleben. He was born in 1483. The four hundredth anniversary of his birth stirred all Christendom as it has never been stirred by the birth of any man. Since Paul no man like him has lived.
