Viac o knihe

The book explores the life and impact of Martin Luther, a pivotal figure in the Protestant Reformation. It highlights his challenge to papal authority, advocating for the Bible as the sole source of religious truth and promoting salvation through personal faith in Jesus. Luther's translation of the Bible democratized access to scripture and influenced the German language and the English King James Bible. His marriage to Katharina von Bora set a precedent for clerical marriage, while his writings on Jews sparked significant debate due to their later misuse by the Nazis, complicating his legacy.
