In 1517‚ Luther nailed his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the Wittenburg Cathedral in Wittenberg‚ Germany for all to see (). He wrote them in Latin‚ so only the educated could read it and debate him. Luther did not want the ordinary man to get the idea because it was not intended to be a glamorized document. To Luther‚ faith came to those whom God chose. In Thesis 2‚ Luther explains how only God can grant salvation‚ not

Martin Luther saw a need for reformation with the Catholic Church and took complete action. Throughout his life demonstrated many examples of the five solas; scripture alone‚ faith alone‚ grace alone‚ Christ alone‚ and for the glory of God alone.

With the United States being Canada’s only neighbor‚ comparisons and similarities have been made regarding all forms of the two nations for many years. Seymour Martin Lipset tries to explain the difference between Canada and the United States in the 1980s through different aspects‚ such as religion‚ economy‚ culture and politics. However‚ it is a very difficult task to break down the two country’s similarities and differences through only a few pages. While I believe that Lipset’s arguments on the

Why am I writing this reflection? Did God predestine that I would write this paper‚ or did I freely choose to write this paper? According to Martin Luther it is the former‚ however Desiderius Erasmus would argue for the latter. Although I tend to side more on Erasmus’s side of the debate‚ there are aspects of both authors writing that I agree with‚ and aspects of both that I disagree with in their “Discourse on Free Will.” Luther went into great detail to explain that human beings do not have free

In the American film classic‚ Taxi Driver directed by Martin Scorcese‚ Travis Bickle’s personality and point of view of reality are heavily twisted.

This loneliness gradually fuels Travis into living a miserable and misanthropic life.
