Special - A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Martin Luther wrote several hymns, most famous for Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her (From Heaven Above to Earth I Come) and Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott (A Mighty Fortress Is Our God). Martin Luther was a German theology professor, music composer, and former Catholic Priest. Not to be confused with Martin Luther King, Jr, another reformer of sorts, Luther is most famous for his prominent role in the Protestant Reformation. In 1517, he nailed the Ninety-five theses to the All Saints’ Castle Church door, asking the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) leaders to reconsider many Catholic teachings, chiefly that justification is by faith alone, not by faith and works. Convinced that the RCC was corrupt, he, along with reformers John Calvin and Philipp Melanchthon, protested the RCC and started their own churches. It later splintered into several denominations under an umbrella that we call Protestantism today. https://www.thebereantest.com/martin-luther-a-mighty-fortress-is-our-god
