Question
What was Martin Luther's Influence on the Christian Community during his life time?

Answer
Dear Stewart,

I'm going to be straitforward and to the point: Martin Luther was a great reformer, and one can't reform when you're dead. Therefore, most of his noble accomplishments happened during his lifetime, such as sparking the reformation which included founding his own church. Most Christian historians aknowledge that Martin Luther started the reformation, as we know it today, even though churches had reformed before he established the Lutherans. Martin Luther was also one of the highest reguarded Philosphers of his day, as well as a great author and musical composer.

Peace & Grace,
James Lavoy
