Luther:

(visit link)

"Martin Luther war der theologische Urheber der Reformation. Als zu den Augustiner-Eremiten gehörender Theologieprofessor entdeckte er Gottes Gnadenzusage im Neuen Testament wieder und orientierte sich fortan ausschließlich an Jesus Christus als dem „fleischgewordenen Wort Gottes“. Nach diesem Maßstab wollte er Fehlentwicklungen der Christentumsgeschichte in der Kirche seiner Zeit überwinden.

Seine Betonung des gnädigen Gottes, seine Predigten und Schriften und seine Bibelübersetzung, die Lutherbibel, veränderten die von der römisch-katholischen Kirche dominierte Gesellschaft in der frühen Neuzeit nachhaltig. Entgegen Luthers Absicht kam es zu einer Kirchenspaltung, zur Bildung evangelisch-lutherischer Kirchen und weiterer Konfessionen des Protestantismus."

EN:
"Martin Luther was the theological author of the Reformation, and as a theology professor of Augustinian hermits, he discovered God's grace in the New Testament, and from that point on he focused exclusively on Jesus Christ as the" flesh-born Word of God. "According to this criterion, he wanted false developments in Christian history In the church of his time.

His emphasis on the merciful God, his sermons and writings, and his translation of the Bible, the Lutheran Bible, changed the Roman Catholic Church's society in the early modern times. Contrary to Luther's intention, there was a division of the church, the formation of Protestant Lutheran churches and other confessions of Protestantism.
