Martin Luther had a small head-start on Tyndale, as Luther declared his intolerance for the Roman Church’s corruption , by nailing his 95 Theses of Contention to the Wittenberg Church door. Luther, who would be exiled in the months following the Diet of Worms Council ,that was designed to martyr him, would translate the New Testament into German for the first time from the 1516 Greek-Latin New Testament of Erasmus, and publish it. Luther also published a German Pentateuch , and another edition of the German New Testament . In the 1530’s he would go on to publish the entire Bible in German.
martin Luther was a very influential man he was the first to really speak out against the church which at the time was a bold step because the church was the power huse at the time. before martin Luther the people fell in to ranks when it came to the church no one spoke out because, by speaking out you could be persecuted. and becuase at that timein the church the average church goer couldnt read the bible they had no knowledge of what right and wrong was they could decode the bible for themsleves. here are some of the events in his life that lead up to all his contraversy:

This movie was nto biast it took no side, it didnt that i felt hender the truth but was meerely a very historical movie. it stuck to the fact. right downt to the portrayal of his lightening instance and to "fighting" with the devi. his weakness was his strugggle with the devil which challenged hsi spirirtal leadership. and to me i thought althoguh he succced that the job of taking on the church was a little to big for his britches. but im glad he stepped out ebcause had he not who knows where we'd be without him. and that is what i admire is his boldness. and lack of fear.
