About the author
Born in Eisleben in 1483, he became an Augustinian monk and later a professor of theology at the University of Wittenberg. In 1517, he challenged the sale of indulgences and other church practices, setting off disputes that grew into the Protestant Reformation.
He was condemned by church authorities and refused to recant at the Diet of Worms in 1521. While under protection at Wartburg Castle, he translated the New Testament into German, helping make the Bible more accessible and shaping the development of written German.
His legacy is immense but also complicated. Alongside his central role in reforming Western Christianity, some of his later writings—especially against Jews—have been widely condemned for their hostility and lasting harm.
