Martin Luther
A sinner or a Saint?
Iconic
Martin Luther is perceived as an iconic image for the protestants as he's being compared to something holy in this picture. They look up to him because he's leading their revolt against the church.
Brave
To expose the corruption in something as monumental as the catholic church during this time was extremely dangerous considering he could get tortured.
Leader
In this picture it's showing one person leading everyone else guiding them where to go. Martin Luther relates to this picture because he is the one mainly in charge of the protestant reformation.
Independent
This picture shows that Martin Luther is independent in his thought. He doesn't believe in the pope's beliefs and he isn't afraid to inform people about it.
Reformative
This picture was designed for Martin Luther as a symbol of his theology and how he corrected the corruptness. He is seen as reformative because he was the main cause the reformation happened. He spoke his mind about what he believed was right so he could fix the church.
Anti-Semetic
This picture is showing Hitler who was a person that had a strong hatred for Jews. Similar to Hitler, Martin Luther believed Jews' homes should be destroyed, their synagogues burned and heir money confiscated.
Rebellious
Martin Luther was seen to be as a delusional person for disobeying the fact that the pope sent you to heaven, creating a lot of insanity.
Conflict
Martin Luther's acts may have been brave but he caused so much conflict in his area that it may have not been worth it.
Frustration
When Martin Luther shared his ideas on the printing press the church got very frustrated and was forced to create new laws that forbid books and other things that didn't support the church.
Dispute
This represents the disputes that Martin Luther caused. With all the arguing that came with his statements it raises the question if his reformation ideas were even worth the dispute.
