马丁·路德的改革

Martin Luther is born into a world dominated by the Catholic Church. For the keenly spiritual Luther, the Church's promise of salvation is irresistible. Caught in a thunderstorm and terrified by the possibility of imminent death, he vows to become a monk. But after entering the monastery, Luther becomes increasingly doubtful that the Church can actually offer him salvation. His views crystallize further when he travels to Rome and finds the capital of Catholicism swamped in corruption. Wracked by despair, Luther finds release in the pages of the Bible, discovering that it is not the Church, but his own individual faith that will guarantee his salvation. With this revelation, he turns on the Church. He attacks its practice of selling Indulgences in his famous 95 Theses, putting himself on an irreversible path to conflict with the most powerful institution of the day. The Catholic Church uses all of its might to try to silence Luther, including accusations of heresy and excommunication. Protected by his local ruler, Frederick the Wise, Luther continues to write radical critiques of the Church. In the process, he develops a new system of faith that places the freedom of the individual believer above the rituals of the Church. Aided by the newly invented printing press, his ideas spread rapidly. He is called before the German imperial parliament in the city of Worms and told he must recant. Risking torture and execution, Luther refuses, proclaiming his inalienable right to believe what he wishes. His stand becomes a legend that inspires revolution across Europe, overturning the thousand-year old hegemony of the Church. But as the reformation expands into a movement for social freedom, Luther finds himself overwhelmed by the pace of change, and is left vainly protesting that his followers should be concerning themselves with God.

即使作出忠实于内心的决定，所有身后事，更多是时势使然。没有万全之策，唯有承认渺小。

去年看的，忘了标记，那就标记一下吧。在当时，马丁路德敢于和教会作对真的是非常不要命了，也许就是这样忘我的人一个个在推动历史前进吧！群众是柴，这些人是风扇。

亲爱的主，我们的喜乐、我们的盼望、我们心所挚爱的……

“”金币落入钱箱叮咚响，炼狱的灵魂升天堂”，教会敛财都用上广告词了。马丁路德，反教会不反基督，圣经每个民众都应该自己去解读。创立了新教，天主教。

有些地方还是讲得有点不到位。比如说翻译圣经是路德一生最伟大的事业，其实还缺一句因为圣经一直是拉丁语，当时的老百姓无法也不被允许自己阅读圣经。所以路德把圣经翻译成德语，百姓就可以自己听从上帝的教诲了。

他是如此极端，以至于那些亲自镇压农民起义的贵族精英，都震惊了。

学术性地聚焦了马丁路德改教的经过及影响，马丁路德不但被认为是第一位宗教改革者，还被誉为人类历史上伟大的解放者。马丁路德的激进言论之所以能够抗衡强大的罗马教皇帝国，得益于时代宏利。改革处于文艺复兴的鼎盛时期，印刷术的流行为路德思想的传播提供了便利，吸引了大批草根，也包括贵族

居然没听出来旁白是连姆尼森。。。 。看完后深感人类历史真重复啊= =

我怀疑他如此坚定地反抗教皇，是对反抗暴君一样的父母这个愿望的代偿。有些人就像被神选中了，出生就是为了完成某种使命。以及在我国，他的反抗不会这么顺利，好在教会不会有军队。

马丁路德论证的应当是这样一种信仰自由：只有当一个人信仰的时候，他才是自由的；只有当他为这种信仰献身的时候，他才可能获得真正的自由。路德或许是一个极端而意志坚定的理想主义者，但他在政治上保守的，他并不愿意见到革命与暴力。如同所有克里斯马领导者一样，他远不曾料到自己会带来这样的世界。

“德国的金币违背自然规律，飞跃阿尔卑斯山……” 其实当时不少帝国诸侯都或明或暗地支持路德的=w=

1 individual changed the entire Christian world, I am amazed...
