The Monk Who Shook the World
Five centuries after his death, Martin Luther remains a bestselling author, with his Bible translation alone selling over 500,000 copies annually. This isn't merely historical curiosity - Luther's ideas about personal calling and individual conscience continue to resonate in our modern world. When Oprah Winfrey cited Luther's concept of "calling" as transformative to her understanding of purpose, she was tapping into the same revolutionary thinking that has inspired figures from Bach to Bob Dylan. Luther's challenge to authority helped establish our modern understanding of conscience and individual rights. Luther emerged during what Goethe called "an age ruled by faith," a transitional period when religious concerns dominated society but traditional structures were beginning to crack. Born in 1483, he lived in a world undergoing profound transformation - Portuguese and Spanish explorations were opening new trade routes, the printing press was revolutionizing communication, and early capitalism was rising alongside population growth that created both prosperity and new poverty. Unlike today, when we often view religion as a private matter, Luther and his contemporaries saw faith as encompassing all aspects of life - private, public, social, and political. His theological breakthrough provided reassurance to millions while challenging the established Church's authority. What makes Luther so fascinating is that he never doubted God had called him as His prophet, despite facing execution threats and excommunication. His impact transformed not just Protestantism but also Catholicism through the Counter-Reformation - though it also unleashed confessional intolerance and devastating religious wars.
