This source may be understood as the stressors for Martin Luther, why he posted the 95 Theses on the doors of the Cathedral. He reminisces almost as if all these led up to his "breaking point."
-Luther is creating his '95 Theses' and is disheveled with the Catholic Church -Luther doubts his salvation and therefor re-evaluates his religious ideals -Luther comes to the conclusion that to "remedy", he must re-establish his beliefs -CONTEXT= religious ideas, time frame, job (monk)
It is important to realize that this is from Martin Luther's point of view. With that said, we need to think about the context of Luther in the Reformation, and his struggles with the corrupt Catholicism.
Seems to be Luther talking about how he felt while a part of the Catholic Church, denotes the oft-joked about notion of guilt being a major facet of Catholicism as a more real thing. Shows that as a Catholic, he always felt lesser, not good enough, like he had problems that went unresolved. He found he couldn't reconcile the traditions and values of the Catholic Church and its rules and customs with his own conscience and thoughts on what Christianity should be like.
Document A illustrates that Martin Luther was not intending to start a religious revolution. He was, however, a Catholic monk who felt uncomfortable within the church. He believed in reform, but did not intend to overthrow the church in the beginning.
in the sixteenth century martin luther is just beginning to question his faith (christianity). in Document A he begins to question the conscience of man. Conscience means: motivation deriving logically from ethical or moral principles that govern a person's thoughts and actions. he is trying look at his faith in a new view so that he can try to fix what he thinks is wrong with his faith
Luther, as the primary engineer of the protestant reformation, is portrayed in a pious way-during his days as a monk. Within these, the seeds of doubt were sown, and Luther began to question the integrity of the church and the righteousness of the established clergy "...Each day i found it more uncertain, weaker, more troubled".
It is important to analyze the point of view of this document. While this document can be used to help explain the context of Luther in the Reformation in regards to religious tension, we should ask why was Luther saying this? what was his reasoning and who was he saying this to?
This shows how Martin Luther began to raise questions about the practices and rituals of Catholicism, and could be used to demonstrate how Luther was very doubtful of it all - he was unsure of the spiritual aspects of it.
