About the author
Born in Eisleben in 1483, he studied law before entering an Augustinian monastery, then became a priest and professor of theology. In 1517, his criticism of indulgences and church abuses set off a movement that quickly spread across Europe and became known as the Protestant Reformation.
His central teaching stressed salvation by faith and the authority of Scripture, and his disputes with church and imperial leaders made him one of the most influential and controversial figures of the 16th century. While in protective hiding at Wartburg Castle, he translated the New Testament into German, helping shape both religious life and the German language.
He was also a prolific writer, preacher, and hymnwriter whose legacy is enormous, though not uncomplicated. Alongside his lasting influence on Christianity, some of his later writings, especially against Jews, remain deeply troubling and are an important part of any honest account of his life.
