Martin Luther 2025, also called the Luther Decade, commemorates the five hundredth anniversary of the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, which is historically dated to 1517 when Martin Luther posted his Ninety-5 Theses. The anniversary shall be noticed from 2023 to 2025, culminating in 2025, which marks the five hundredth anniversary of Luther’s demise.
The Reformation was a serious spiritual motion that led to the institution of Protestantism, which has had a profound affect on Western Christianity and the world. Luther’s concepts about salvation by religion alone, the priesthood of all believers, and the authority of Scripture over custom challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and led to the institution of recent Protestant denominations.
