Martin Luther: The Father of Protestantism and His Lasting Impact on Christianity

Martin Luther, a German monk and theologian, ignited the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. Born in 1483, he challenged the Catholic Church's practices, particularly the selling of indulgences. His core teachings emphasized salvation through faith alone and the supremacy of the Bible as the word of God. Luther's actions set a precedent for reform, birthed Lutheranism, and paved the way for other Protestant denominations. His legacy influenced significant historical agreements like the Peace of Augsburg and reshaped Christianity's landscape, leading to lasting religious and social changes.
