enraged Luther
- Nailed them to the Church door of

- Luther wanted to find the
best route to salvation;
he did 'good works'
(fasting, vigils-being
awake when your
supposed to be asleep-,
repeating prayers,
confessing sins (did it for
6 hours & was still not
satisfied)

killed him, 'so that the
bones stood out of him'
- 'Love God! I hated him!'
- 'Love God! I hated him!'
- Doing these rituals, nearly
killed him, 'so that the
bones stood out of him'
- Johannes von Staupitz (member
of the Augustinian order) advised
Luther to do biblical study to learn
more about God than seeing him
as a stern judge
- Influenced by humanist
ideas such as Erasmus'
New Testament (1516)
- God was a
God of mercy -
depended on
justification of
faith alone
- God sent Christ into
our world to save
sinners - hope for
everyone
- Faith alone was
essential in
salvation
- God sent Christ into
our world to save
sinners - hope for
everyone
- 'Faith alone' was not
anything new - it had
been in the New
testament, so his
theology was a revival of
early Christian teaching
- Caused controversy -
made the Churches
teachings seem irrelevant
- pilgrimages, relics,
indulgences = no way of
helping you gaining salvation
