Martin Luther entered a monastery seeking peace with God and became a central figure in a religious upheaval that transformed Europe. This episode of Compact Biographies follows his life from a mining family and university studies to the Ninety-Five Theses, his refusal to recant at Worms and his refuge at Wartburg Castle. Discover how his German biblical translation, marriage and teaching helped establish Lutheran Christianity, why the Peasants' War exposed the limits of his support for freedom, and how his vicious anti-Jewish writings complicate his enduring legacy. An exploration of conviction, conflict and the consequences of challenging authority.
