Martin Luther “Martin Luther, from whom this protest came, is one of the few individualsof whom it may be said that the history of the world was profoundly alteredby his work. Not an organizer or a politician, and by no means a self- declared revolutionary, he moved people by the power of a profoundreligious faith, resulting in unshakable trust in God and in direct, personal relations to God, which brought a certainty of salvation that left no roomfor the elaborate hierarchical and sacramental structures of the Middle Ages.” Williston Walker A History of the Christian Church
