Martin Luther was originally a law student. He later became a monk, owing to a very fortunate event, which involved a thunderstorm and his promise to become a monk, if he survived the extremely close lightning strikes. Luckily, he did survive, and joined an Augustinian monastery.

Martin Luther founded Protestantism in Europe, when, on Halloween of 1517, he nailed 95 issues, or 'Theses' to the door of the Wittenberg Church, which is located in present-day Germany. This infuriated the Pope Leo X, and Martin Luther was later excommunicated from the Catholic Church.

Luther was then ordered to attend a trial by the German Emperor, but owing to fortunate (or unfortunate, depending on how you look at it) circumstances, he had already left before the verdict was rendered. After being named an outlaw, Luther took the guise of 'Junker Jorg', grew a beard and dressed as a knight. He translated the Bible from it's ancient Greek to German, making it possible for lower classes to read it for themselves and discover God's love.

The Baroque style was a sort of 'counter-reformation', by the Roman Catholic Church. Instead of depicting Saints and Christ, it showed normal people in biblical settings. It used emotion and shadows to create the masterfully inspiration pictures that we see today.

'''''SUBSTITUE:'' H1. What are the particular strengths and advantages of the English language?'''

The English Language is perhaps one of the most useful languages today, not only because it is spoken by many people, world-wide, but because it has the ability to conform to fit into words from other languages. It is, in fact, comparable as the 'mutt' of languages, as it is formed from many different cultures. It's twenty-six letters can be mixed and matched to create a variety of different words, with different meanings.
