                  More importantly, Martin Luther was one 
            of the main reasons the Protestant Reformation took place.
 
              
             How did it all begin? 
             Martin 
            Luther was a German priest. 
								 
             There was a dispute between Luther and
			Johann Tetzel 
			respecting the sale of indulgences. This was the beginning of the Protestant 
            Reformation. 
             With his 95 theses he rocked the 
            religious world, and that of
