Christian Writings from the Reformation to 1750
Martin Luther sparked the Protestant Reformation when he nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of the All Saints' Church in Wittenberg, Germany. Luther's ideas criticized many of the Catholic Church's practices, and he was excommunicated after he refused to recant his accusations. The Lutheran Church was established based on these ideas, and many other reformers followed suit by forming new Christian churchs. The following collection is comprised of influential documents from the beginning of the Reformation in 1517 to 1750.
