Book excerpt: Excerpt from Martin Luther in the Changing Light of Four Centuries This paper was read at the Annual Meeting of the American Society of Church History, held in New York City, December 26, 1916. It is being distributed by the Joint Lutheran Committee on the Celebration of the Quadricentennial, 925 Chestnut St., Philadelphia. This paper can deal only with Luther's career among Protestants. It might indeed be an interesting and profitable exercise also to trace the history of the Roman Catholic attitude towards Luther, from Eck and Cochlaeus to Denifle and Grisar. It is doubtful whether much progress could be noted in the Catholic appreciation of Luther during the past four centuries, because that branch of Christendom has persistently closed itself against Luther's influence, particularly his religious influence. And the rich materials that have been gathered by Hegemann ("Luther im katholischen Urteil," Munich, 1906) indicate no serious effort to comprehend Luther or his movement. At any rate, the limitations of our space will not permit the treatment of that part of our subject here. It is different with the non-Lutheran branches of Protestantism, even with those whose historical beginnings Luther himself opposed in the sixteenth century. They have for the most part moved with the general line of progress in the appreciation of Luther. But of course our sketch can be most easily accomplished and most clearly illustrated in each case by reference to that branch of Protestantism which bears Luther's own name, more particularly those who have lived in Luther's own land. The information for this sketch is gathered from such secondary sources as: Eckart, "Luther im Urteile bedeutender Manner." Dorner, "Geschichte der protestantischen Theologie." Boehmer, "Luther im Lichte der neueren Forschung." Stephan, "Luther in den Wandlungen seiner Kirche." McGiffert, "Protestant Thought before Kant." Moore, "Christian Thought since Kant." Ritschl, "Geschichte des Pietismus." Gass, "Geschichte der protestantischen Dogmatik." Lichtenberger, "History of German Theology in the Nineteenth Century." Seeberg, "Die Kirche Deutschlands im neunzehnten Jahrhundert." Troeltsch, "Protestantisches Christentum und Kirche in der Neuzeit." Loofs, "Luthers Stellung zum Mittelalter und zur Neuzeit." Various articles in Hauck's "Realencyclopaedie fur protestantische Theologie und Kirche." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Martin Luther Among the immortal names that have honored their kind and glorified their God, stands pre-eminently the name of Martin Luther. Yet not in name alone does his greatness shine forth in splendor after the lapse of four centuries, but in word and deed, in character and influence. His private life and public career are a unit, for both were the manifestations of a sincere soul, a generous heart, a true man. The enlightened, civilized world celebrates the four hundredth anniversary of this great man's birth. He belongs to the world, to Church and State, for both have felt the influence of his teachings. In the truest estimate of his God-given work he belongs to no sect or party, he is a man of and for the people. In what better way can the memorial of his birth be observed than by a study of his life, his character, and his works and above all, by a practical appreciation of the influences which have proceeded from him and blessed mankind?

Surely, then, it is incumbent on us who have lighted the beacon of invitation to bid others come and enjoy with us liberty of person and conscience, to know him better. Nor is it only for this. The life of Luther is one for which we find no parallel in any history, and as such it is worth knowing. I have tried to view it from an impartial standpoint, to see him as a man among men, leaving polemics and the niceties of chronology to those who have tastes in that direction. J. H. T.

The major1ty fabricate their own religion, and many set forth their peculiar no tions and whims as new revelations, to say nothing of the fools who, in their satanlc ln fatuation, proclaim it as the highest wisdom to believe in no 'god at all. But what is sad dest of all 1s that so many, who 'still extol the Bible as the word of God, 111 so many points depart from it, and follow the false opinions of men in preference to the blessed and unchang able utterances of the God of truth.

Download or read book Rebel in the Ranks written by Brad S. Gregory and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Martin Luther published his 95 Theses in October 1517, he had no intention of starting a revolution. But very quickly his criticism of indulgences became a rejection of the papacy and the Catholic Church emphasizing the Bible as the sole authority for Christian faith, radicalizing a continent, fracturing the Holy Roman Empire, and dividing Western civilization in ways Luther—a deeply devout professor and spiritually-anxious Augustinian friar—could have never foreseen, nor would he have ever endorsed. From Germany to England, Luther’s ideas inspired spontaneous but sustained uprisings and insurrections against civic and religious leaders alike, pitted Catholics against Protestants, and because the Reformation movement extended far beyond the man who inspired it, Protestants against Protestants. The ensuing disruptions prompted responses that gave shape to the modern world, and the unintended and unanticipated consequences of the Reformation continue to influence the very communities, religions, and beliefs that surround us today. How Luther inadvertently fractured the Catholic Church and reconfigured Western civilization is at the heart of renowned historian Brad Gregory’s Rebel in the Ranks. While recasting the portrait of Luther as a deliberate revolutionary, Gregory describes the cultural, political, and intellectual trends that informed him and helped give rise to the Reformation, which led to conflicting interpretations of the Bible, as well as the rise of competing churches, political conflicts, and social upheavals across Europe. Over the next five hundred years, as Gregory’s account shows, these conflicts eventually contributed to further epochal changes—from the Enlightenment and self-determination to moral relativism, modern capitalism, and consumerism, and in a cruel twist to Luther’s legacy, the freedom of every man and woman to practice no religion at all. With the scholarship of a world-class historian and the keen eye of a biographer, Gregory offers readers an in-depth portrait of Martin Luther, a reluctant rebel in the ranks, and a detailed examination of the Reformation to explain how the events that transpired five centuries ago still resonate—and influence us—today.
