Essay on Martin Luther
The year 1483 certainly was not the best of times and arguably not the worst of times but it was a
notable time in that the birth of one Martin Luther did occur and the re–birth of Christendom was
not far away. Eisleben, Germany is noted as the birthplace of young Martin Luther just ten days into
