Martin Luther Libri
10 novembre 1483 – 18 febbraio 1546
Martin Lutero fu un monaco e teologo tedesco le cui idee e scritti riformisti influenzarono profondamente la civiltà occidentale. La sua teologia sfidò l'autorità papale, affermando la Bibbia come unica fonte infallibile di verità religiosa e tutti i cristiani battezzati come un sacerdozio spirituale. Lutero credeva che la salvezza fosse un dono gratuito di Dio, ricevuto attraverso il pentimento e la fede in Gesù, non mediato dalla chiesa. La sua traduzione della Bibbia in tedesco rese le scritture accessibili alla gente comune, influenzando significativamente la lingua e la cultura tedesca, oltre a ispirare il canto congregazionale e la pratica del matrimonio clericale. Le sue opinioni controverse su determinati gruppi contribuiscono a un'eredità complessa.
Il rapporto di Lutero con la mistica è assai più significativo di quanto si ritenga comunemente: la ricerca internazionale degli ultimi anni ha dimostrato che essa non fu per Lutero solo un entusiasmo giovanile
