Martin Luther 
The Ninety-Five Theses 
Disputation on the Power of Indulgences

In Martin Luther’s groundbreaking work, ‘The Ninety-Five Theses, ‘ he challenges the Catholic Church’s practices and beliefs, sparking the Protestant Reformation. Written in a simple and direct style, the theses serve as a call for reform and a critique of the Church’s sale of indulgences. Luther’s work marked a shift towards a more personal and direct relationship with God, emphasizing faith over tradition. The Ninety-Five Theses had a profound impact on religious and political thought in Europe during the 16th century, shaping the course of Western history. As one of the most influential texts of the Reformation, Luther’s work continues to be studied and debated by scholars and theologians to this day. Martin Luther, a German theologian and monk, was driven by his deep religious convictions and a desire to reform the corrupt practices of the Catholic Church. His bold actions and writings paved the way for the Protestant movement and helped shape the modern Christian faith. I highly recommend ‘The Ninety-Five Theses’ to readers interested in the history of Christianity, theology, and the impact of one man’s courageous stand against religious authority.
