'''Martin Luther''' (November 10, 1483 - February 18,1546) was the leader of the German [[Reformation]].

He was a Monk and Theologian whose writing sparked the [[Protestant Reformation]] which led to the founding of the [[Lutheran Church]] as an alternative to the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. From the perspective of [[Roman Catholic]] scholars, Luther remains a monk who overeacted and caused a great of needless trouble.  To [[Protestants]], Luther as a prophet has largely been forgotten, but prior to the 18th century, Luther was seen as a witness to and agent of [[Jesus Christ]] who God mysteriously chose to bestow a gift of deep insight into scripture and the true nature of the Catholic church, not unlike the kind of conversion experience given to [[St. Paul]]<ref>''Martin Luther:Prohpet to the Church Catholic'', James Atkinson, Eerdmans, 1983, ISBN 0-8028-1260-0, 43-58</ref>.
