Martin Luther

A Life from Beginning to End

By: Hourly History

Narrated by: Arthur Rowan

Martin Luther is famous for the moment he nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg, yet the scope of his influence on the modern world is hardly limited to that one act. He emerged as a leader of the Reformation, coming onto the European scene at a time when modes of thought were changing, adapting from the medieval norm of reliance on authoritative sources such as Aristotle to modern ideas of discovering knowledge through textual interpretation, experience, and experimentation.

Inside you will hear about....

• From law student to monk
• The angry monk
• 95 Theses
• Debater, reformer, and heretic
• Knight George
• Defining the Lutheran Church
• And much more!
  

As his life followed a tumultuous path from student to monk to reformer and church leader, his emphasis on salvation by faith and the authority of the Bible alone - not priests or the Pope - had lasting impact on the history of the church. While Martin Luther may remain a controversial figure, his life and writings undoubtedly played an important role in the religious, intellectual, and political development of the Western world.

Narration to hasty

I wish the narration was not so hasty, fast but more relaxed. I feel tension coming out of it. It stresses me out which decreases the positiveness of the experience.

A Great Man of Faith

Luther is a complex topic and pivotal figure in the course of world history. Well researched and written. Most importantly, the economy of such life changing events in the spiritual realm told in mere minutes makes this audiobook invaluable.
