So, I'm quite interested in History of Protestantism, although

The 95 theses are rather boring. Nothing about them is particularly edgy.

The tl;dr is that Luther stumbled dick-first into the reformation, so it was probably the result of other internal conflicts.

At risk of looking like a brainlet. This guy is a theology professor in an university or something and he makes some top notch lectures on the history of the church.

t. a guy who took an undergrad class on the reformation but is no expert

the augsburg confession is better if you want a concise overview or luther's theological positions. in the 95 theses he mostly only argues against indulgences.


there's a book about the reformation by diarmaid macculloch who also wrote a very good general history of christianity that i read. i expect it would be a good place to start.

Desperate to justify their lives to God, Puritans started to account for themselves in diaries and then autobiographies. The greatest of these was John Bunyan's spiritual autobiography, Grace Abounding to the Chief of Sinners, which he followed with The Pilgrim's Progress and its haunting 'What shall I do to be saved?'

Bunyan signalled the beginning of an epic Puritan tradition of literature which would culminate, via Daniel Defoe, Samuel Richardson and George Eliot, in the modern novel.

Martin Luther was a Catholic friar who wanted the Catholic church to clean up. For being excommunicated, the Catholics called the breakaway Catholics "protestants".

"Protestants" have nothing to do with Christians. The "Protestants" died out 500 years ago, mostly murdered in the Counter-Reformation launched by the bloody and murderous Vatican via their order of assassins, the Jesuits.

Christians, and Christianity, have absolutely nothing to do with Rome/Babylon. And there have been Christians since Pentecost 32 AD continuously to the present, having absolutely nothing to do with Rome, avoiding Roman assassins, wars, holocausts, etc., and never having bent the knee to Rome.

Martin Luther died an excommunicated Catholic, revealing his true nature by publishing "On the Jews and Their Lies", a tome quoted a half dozen times by Hitler in "Mein Kampf".

Blessed are the cheesemakers.

Well, obviously it's not meant to be taken literally; it refers to any manufacturers of dairy products.

Good replies, I thank everyone for this.

this seems to be a concise selection.

I am planning to read the confession as well, but I wanted first to explore "the young Luther" before his desire of establishing a reformed church.

>>3043292
I really rather to stay with Luther and his contemporaries for the time being, Puritanism is different scope.

Yes, yes, goyim. Fuck tradition, theology and shit, the holy ghost will come upon us, and reveal everything we need to know. All we ever needed was a KJV.
