About this video
Runtime: 25 minsAlec Ryrie discusses the theological thought of Martin Luther in respect of the 'Nature of Salvation' and his controversial interaction with the established Church. Martin Luther, an unconventional theologian, defied the traditional Christian scholar image, he was a married, beer-loving professor with a penchant for frank language. His spiritual journey began when he made a monastic vow after surviving a thunderstorm at 18. Despite academic success, Luther struggled with guilt and sin as a monk. A breakthrough came around 1511 when he joined Wittenberg University, focusing on theology. Reading Romans 1:17 sparked a transformative shift, leading Luther to emphasize faith over rituals in understanding God's grace. The Reformation gained momentum in 1517 with Luther's challenge against indulgences, framed amid broader church reform debates.
