Publisher Description

The Ninety-Five Theses on the Power and Efficacy of

Indulgences, commonly known as The Ninety-Five Theses,

were written by Martin Luther in 1517 and are widely regarded as the primary

catalyst for the Protestant Reformation. Luther used these theses to display his

displeasure with some of the Church's clergy's abuses, most notably the sale of

indulgences; this ultimately gave birth to Lutheranism. Luther's popularity

encouraged others to share their doubts about the Church and to protest against

its ways; it especially challenged the teachings of the Church on the nature of

penance, the authority of the Pope and the usefulness of indulgences. They

sparked a theological debate that would result in the Reformation and the birth

of the various Lutheran, Reformed, and Anabaptist denominations within

Christianity.
