  14. The Ninety-Five Theses

  15. Recasting of the Old Traditions • Luther did not intend the gradual reform within the old faith but a fundamental recasting of traditional doctrines and practices. Luther also revived the dark debates and narrow theological interests of middle ages. For Luther, to endow man with complete freedom of will in morality and religious matters meant to ascribe truly divine powers to him.
