Ph.D. Candidate at the Faculty of Theology and Religious Studies, University of Groningen, the Netherlands; Farmer and Rancher. INTRODUCTION Writing a short biographical article on a figure like Martin Luther in the contemporary context of celebrating years of the Reformation this year, is a particularly daunting challenge. It provides a particularly tricky task to produce something valuable for a Protestant audience obviously familiar with the great reformer, a man ranked by Time Magazine in as the 17th most influential human being in history Luther is renowned as the great church reformer, the theologian, the hymnist and Christian philosopher.

10 Very Good Books on the Reformation and Martin Luther
As we anticipate the celebration of the th year anniversary of the Reformation, I put together a “top ten list” of some of the best (and mostly recent) books on the history, theology, and legacy of the Reformation.
This list is, perhaps predictably, tilted a bit heavily to Luther and the Reformation in Germany.

Martin attended the Latin school (Lateinschule) in Mansfeld where barbaric teaching methods of the Middle Ages still reigned. Luther had been described as a quiet, reserved yet talented student who was intimidated by the strict order.
In , Luther went to Magdeburg (only in German) where he attended the school 'Brother's for living together (a bording school; Bruder fuer Gemeinsamen Leben)' and then in went to Eisenach and lived with relatives. He was edcuated at the town's paris
