95 - Martin Luther (1483-1546) founded Protestantism, one of the major movements within Christianity. He was a German monk, theologian, university professor, priest, and church reformer whose ideas started the Protestant Reformation and changed the course of Western civilization. The life of Martin Luther is one of the most fascinating stories in the history of Christianity. It has all the stuff of a good novel: parental conflict, spiritual agony, life-changing moments, near-misses, princes, popes, emperors, castles, kidnapping, mobs, revolution, massacres, politics, courage, controversy, disguises, daring escapes, humor and romance. And not only is it a good story, it marks a major turning point in western history and in Christianity. Signed Letter Dated 1542. Attached Watermark of a Dagger. Good Condition. Measures 8-3/8 Inches by 8-3/8 Inches. Shipping $20.00 (estimate $10,000-$20,000)
