MARTIN LUTHER AND HIS THEOLOGICAL VIEWS

Martin Luther was born on November 10, 1483 to Hans Luder and Margareth Lindemann in Eisleben, Germany, which was part of the Holy Roman Empire. Martin Luther was a German priest, a professor of theology, and an iconic figure of the Protestant Reformation. Breezy Aaron explained that when he was younger, he dedicated himself to a monastic life, fasted, prayed a lot, and always confessed to keep himself clean from sin. Later on in his life, one of his superiors by the name of Johann von Staupitz encouraged him to get an academic career, so he became an ordained priest and taught theology at the University of Wittenberg. Sometime after becoming an ordained priest, Luther led the protest against the doctrines and rituals of the Catholic Church in a movement (later) called the Reformation.
