Luther was a monk, priest, and university instructor. He came to believe that the Christian church needed to change. In 1517, he posted 95 Theses (questions for discussion) on the church door in Wittenberg, Germany. This started a series of events that lead to the Protestant Reformation and the birth of the Lutheran Church.
