Martin Luther

(pages 391–393)

• Martin Luther was a monk and professor at the University of Wittenberg, where he lectured on the Bible.

• Through his study of the Bible, Luther came to reject the Catholic teaching that both faith and good works were necessary for salvation.

• He believed human deeds were powerless to affect God and that salvation was through faith alone.

Martin Luther (cont.) • The idea of justification (being

made right before God) by faith alone is the Protestant Reformation’s chief teaching.

• For all Protestants, the Bible, not the Church, became the only source of religious truth.

(pages 391–393)

• The Edict of Worms made Luther an outlaw in the empire.

The Anabaptists and Effects on the Role of Women

(pages 398–400)

• The radical Anabaptists rejected the involvement of the state in church affairs.

• To them the true Christian church was a voluntary community of adult believers who had undergone spiritual rebirth and had then been baptized.

• This belief in adult baptism separated the Anabaptists from both Catholics and Protestants, who baptized infants.
