Theologian & reformer
Martin Luther
Nailed ninety-five theses to a church door in 1517 and split western Christianity. His German Bible did as much for the language as Shakespeare did for English.
Martin Luther was a German priest, theologian, author, hymnwriter, professor, and former Augustinian friar. Luther was the seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation, and his theological beliefs form the basis of Lutheranism. He is considered one of the most influential figures in Western and Christian history.
