Summary: "Martti Luther: Elämäkerta" by A. Meurman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life and influence of Martin Luther, particularly leading up to and during the Reformation. It delves into his upbringing, the socio-political context of the Roman Catholic Church in the 15th century, and the resulting spiritual turmoil that motivated his revolutionary ideas. At the start of the work, the author paints a vivid picture of the state of the Catholic Church during Luther's time, illuminating the corruption and the disconnect between the church's practices and the original teachings of Christ. Luther’s early life is detailed, showcasing his parents' struggles and strict upbringing, which fueled his need for spiritual fulfillment. The narrative addresses the burdens of sin and the prevailing fear of divine judgment that plagued Luther, eventually leading him to monastic life in search of salvation through rigorous adherence to church rules and penances—only to find himself still grappling with his faith and the quest for inner peace. The opening sets the stage for Luther's eventual confrontation with the church and his pivotal role in the Reformation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
