If nothing else, Martin was a brave man who helped reshaped Christianity

[47of74]

Martin spoke out during a time when the church's preferred method of dealing with people who disagreed with it involved setting them on fire or torturing them until they recanted. It would have been far easier for him to have remained silent and continued in a cushy teaching job in Wittenburg. But he took the harder path and helped opened Christianity to new ways of worshiping Christ.
