this is a short paragragh about Martin luther:

Martin Luther was a greek monk, theoligiva, university professor, and church reformer whos ideas inspired and changed the coarse of western cilvilization. To Luther, salvation was a gift free from god, recieved only by true repentance and faith and jesus as the massiah. He translated the bible in to vernacular, making it more accesible to ordinary people. He thought that jews should be destroyed, and have their synagogs burned. He developed a standered version of the german language.
