Martin Luther’s love for music encouraged the singing and writings of hymnals in German for a more comprehensive appeal and understanding. His musical form of the chorale had a major influence on music and the reformation and was used as the standard for Protestants during the Reformation. His chorale became a vehicle for future composers with the use of voices, melodies, sounds and instruments. Due to the Catholic Church’s abuse of power and corruption, Luther’s Ninety-Five Theses was at best an attempt to layout his grievances against the Catholic Church to begin its reformation based on true spiritualism (Fiero 158). Though, some churches protested Luther’s standards by destroying organs and only sang certain portions of his hymnals while editing and deleting other portions, his A Mighty Fortress is our God was dubbed the “anthem of the Reformation” (Fiero 133).
Assignment 1: 1. The sources of religious discontent that preceded the Reformation was the people’s unhappiness with the selling of the offices of the church, clergy members holding more than one office, the selling of indulgences, church taxation, absenteeism, the literate and uneducated priests, and nepotism among the clergy. Additionally, the fact that most clergy was exempt from tax but could own property upset the people. 2. Luther’s intentions and actions of the 95 thesis to the Peace of Augsburg was to tell the Archbishop Albert that the indulgences were making penance insignificant, going against what was in the Gospels, and taking the importance of charity out of Christian’s lives.
Martin Luther Kind writes "I hope this letter finds you strong in faith...will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty" to approach the men with their problems and hope to meet them. Martin Luther clearly wants to meet with these people so they understand each other and that the person against Martin's point will comprehend that Martin wants to be equal. The paragraph is composed of personifying social issues. When it comes to "racial prejudice" he describes them as dark clouds and the "misunderstanding" is seen as the deep fog. Martin's diction makes the paragraph sound understanding and friendly.
Agyen, I enjoyed reading your discussion post and found your take on the Reformers to be informative and well thought out. I thought Calvin was the most committed to living a biblical life but do disagree that Luther was not committed to biblical Christianity. I feel that he was committed but in ways that weren’t as bold as Calvin. Luther seemed to have less hesitation on making his ideas become reality in his time. Our text states, “Luther is flamboyant, vivid, impulsive, immensely readable, frequently exaggerating his true position or contradicting what he said elsewhere in order to put over a point forcefully”
On Tuesday 03/15/2016 1752 hours I went to Shirley Luther's residence on Patton Road (Apaloosa Acres) to talk with Shirley Luther, in reference to this case. I told Luther I was Detective Wondra with the Barton County Sheriff Office and asked if she remembered me from other cases that I have been to her house on, Luther did not understand me. I asked Luther if she understood why I was here. Luther told me she suppose on account of those guys.
Speaker John Edwards preached God’s word in the name of puritism in 1741 throughout New England in a speech titled “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”. Simply because they had nothing else to do, entire communities gathered to listen to the passionate speech on God’s wrathful view of the human race and why puritism was the only way to be saved from His wrath. In the years following, Edwards’ sermons helped to spark the most significant religious renewal, The Great Awakening, in colonial history. In a similar way, social rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote a letter to eight clergymen on April 12, 1963 from Birmingham Jail to defend his nonviolent approach to protest. “Letter from Birmingham Jail” respectively implored the clergymen
From the years 1957 to 1968, he travelled six million miles and spoke to crowds of people over 25 hundred times. Wherever there was injustice, protest or action he spoke. In these eleven years Martin Luther King led a huge world renowned protest in Birmingham. It was also now that he wrote his inspiring letter called “A Letter to Birmingham Jail”. He planned the drives in Alabama to legalize black people voting.
In order to formulate his thoughts he composed what is known as the “95 Theses”, which entails a list of questions and statements Luther had concerning the Roman Catholic Church. Following his discoveries, on November 1517,
They felt that it took believers closer to God and softened their hearts and minds so that they might receive God 's message. This song has survived centuries of social and political
Calvin based his entire theology and writings on his belief that God is all powerful. He believes that God controls everyone and everything, including our salvation. Throughout Institutes of the Christian Religion, specifically in chapter XXI, Calvin acknowledges that his thoughts on predestination are highly debated and goes to great lengths to explain and reason it. Calvin believes that we are incompetent as human beings because we are inherently sinful, therefore, we are incapable of determining right and wrong.
What made Luther different from previous reformers was that while the others attacked the church and its corruption, he argued based on the root of the problem. The church 's doctrine of salvation and God 's free gift of grace. His opinion can also be considered reliable because of this. The words of God cannot be touched, changed of wronged, therefore as a source, the Bible is quite reliable. And what if Luther tried to change the scriptures?
However, Luther's greatest work was the writing of the German Bible. No other work has had a greater impact on a nation's development and heritage then this book. In Luther's time, the German language consisted of several complicated dialects. The key factor was how Luther turned his attention to the Old Testament. This motivation opened Pandora’s box when it came to translations of the Bible and sparked a time of great hymn production.
In 1517 Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the front of the Catholic Church at Wittenburg Castle. This thesis outlined the wrong doings he felt the church was doing and he was asking for them to make a change. The theses discussed: selling indulgences is terrible and should be ended, people are saved by faith alone and not by good deeds, the Bible is the primary authority on God, not the church, and people can pray directly to God and not through the church. Because of Martin Luther’s theses the Catholic Church took certain measures to address the reformation from the period 1517-1563. The church did respond to the criticism, and they changed the laws so people couldn’t read the reformation but at the same time they continued to do the same
1. Martin Luther writes the letter as a reply to the eight clergymen who criticized his peaceful act of demonstrations. In it he details as to why he is jailed and the many reason injustice has plagued Birmingham. 2. Martin Luther King approaches the topic with a formal and academic tone.
The narrative can move the audience around within a given time frame. My main text I have chosen is a British Crime Drama series ‘ Luther ’ written by Neil Cross , which is typical of its genre as it adheres and subverts with the associate conventions of the crime genre. As soon as the audience engage with the drama they realise that it is a crime drama. I will look at a and analyse the narrative devices used to appeal to the audience. Most narratives start of with a disruption in crime genres where a crime needs to be solved this propels the narrative forward by a police officer catching the criminal this instantly helps the audience develop expectations of the drama , and helps create enigmas codes of “ who is the killer ?”.
