Joel W. Lundeen, was formerly an Associate Professor at the
Lutheran School of Theology-Chicago and the Associate Archivist for
the Lutheran School of Theology, Chicago, and the Associate
Archivist for the Lutheran Church in America.
Martin Luther stands as one of the most significant figures in
Western history. His distinction as the father of the Protestant
Reformation is augmented by his innovative use of new technology
(the printing press), his translation of the Christian Bible into
the vernacular, and his impact upon European society. Born in 1483
to middle-class parents in Saxony, eastern Germany, he became an
Augustinian monk, a priest, a professor of biblical literature, a
reformer, a husband and father. He died in 1546 after having
witnessed the birth of a renewal movement that would result in a
profound shift in faith, politics, and society. He has been both
praised and vilified for what he preached and wrote. His thought
continues to influence all Christians and to animate the movement
that bears his name.
