مارتین لوتر: پدر جنبش اصلاح دینی

Rate this book
بادهای تغییر در قرن شانزدهم در سرتاسر اروپا می‌وزید. قاره‌ای که کلیسای کاتولیک آن را متحد کرده بود، خود را دستخوش آشوب می‌دید. در کوشش برای اصلاح کلیسا گروهی از مردم دست از مذهب رسمی کشیدند، اما گروهی دیگر در درون مشغول کار بودند. تغییراتی که در سال ۱۵۱۷ با ۹۵ مسئله مارتین لوتر در آلمان آغاز شد، قرار بود همه چیز را تغییر دهد. تأثیر اصلاحات پروتستان در همه جنبه‌های زندگی مشهود بود: در خانه، حکومت و اقتصاد. اصلاح دینی پروتستان که پایی در قرون وسطی و پایی در رنسانس داشت، قرار بود کلیسا، دین و خود جهان را متحول کند. در این احوال بود که تیر صاعقه و غرش رعد، مردی را به خدمت مسیحیت درآورد به نام «مارتین لوتر». او که دانشجوی حقوق بود، می‌خواست که راهب شود. لوتر بعدها به قول خود وفادار ماند، دانشگاه را رها کرد و وارد صومعه شد. او صدای خود را علیه قدرتمندترین نظام حاکم مذهبی و سیاسی زمان، یعنی کلیسای کاتولیک، بلند کرد. این دوران به دوران اصلاح دینی پروتستان معروف شد.

Checking this out from the library after watching the film, 'Luther' about his life. I wanted to know more, so I reserved this book. When I picked it up, I realized it was meant for young adults. I read it anyway and found it informative and a quick read with lots of pictures. :)

I'll be honest..I only chose to read a book about the reformation because it is on a reading challenge list I'm working on. So, after asking a friend for suggestions and a quick library search I found this book. And I must say I was pleasantly surprised! I learned a lot that I didn't know about the Catholic Church, especially indulgences. This book is an easy to read introduction to the reformation.

حقیقتا همه جوامع در همه تواریخ از دین تقلیدی و بدون فکر و برعکس آن فلسفه بی دین رنج برده اند...

This was a quick read that provided a basic outline of Martin Luther's life and beliefs. It is a very appropriate book for middle school students (I actually borrowed this book from the school library). The chapters were short and to the point with some sidenotes and plenty of pictures. One downside to the pictures was that some of them were just stock pictures that seemed to be passed off as actual woodcuts of Luther, etc., when they were really just showing contemporaries. The author did a good job of presenting Christian beliefs without being overly preachy or biased.

Good overview for those new to Luther; however, misses some key theology and completely glosses over his antisemitism, etc - therefore, lacks the complete story

I'm doing a presentation on Luther's 95 theses and really liked the juvenile nonfiction approach.
