Martin Luther entered a monastery as a youth and as a man shattered the structure of the medieval church, speaking out against the corrupt religious practices of the time. His demand that the authority for doctrine and practice be scriptures, rather than popes or councils, echoed around the world and ignited the great Reformation. Accused of heresy and threatened with excommunication and death, Luther maintained his bold stand and refused to recant. In his crusade to eliminate religious abuses, he did more than any other man to establish the Protestant faith.

"The Bible is alive," declared Martin Luther, "it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold of me."

Fortunately for posterity, some of Luther's loyal followers took note of his informal speeches.

Luther’s 95 Theses, written in Latin, were famously posted by Martin Luther on the door of the Castle Church, Wittenberg, on October 31, 1517, an event that came to be considered as the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. The Theses focus on three main issues: selling forgiveness through indulgences, the pope’s claimed power of forgiveness, and the damage indulgences caused to sinners. The first thesis states, "When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, "Repent," he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance."

Interpret Jürgen Fliege zu seinem Hörbuch: Johannes schreibt im Jahre 105 als letzter der vier Altevangelisten seine Geschichte nieder.

"Wenn ich Matthäus lese, kommt ein unbestechlicher Jesus nach vorne, der nicht mit sich verhandeln lässt der in der Tradition des Moses steht und nicht nur süß und barmherzig ist. Er fordert." Jürgen Fliege. Matthäus ist Jude und sieht das Jüdische in Jesus. Er will belegen, dass Jesus der Messias ist, auf den das Volk seit 3 Jahrtausenden wartet. Matthäus ist ein harter Evangelist. Bei ihm muss alles stimmen, er begründet seinen Jesus aus dem alten Testament heraus. Bei Matthäus ist Jesus für das Volk Israels da und nicht für alle Welt.

In his "Dear Genesis" Luther proved that the free Evangelical religion he taught was not new, but as old as the first book of the Bible, and that it does not consist in outward forms, organizations and pomp, but in true faith in Christ in our hearts and lives. Genesis contains the only historic records accessible of the first 2364 years of the 4004 years before Christ. It is worthy of study in our day as it was in the days of the Reformation. This, the second volume of Luther's great commentary on Genesis, ... covers chapters four to nine inclusive of Genesis. - Summary by J. N. Lenker
