	Luther was born to Hans Luder (or Ludher, later Luther) and his wife Margarethe (née Lindemann) on November 10, 1483 in Eisleben, [[Germany]], then part of the Holy [[Roman]] [[Empire]]. He was baptized the next morning on the feast day of St. Martin of Tours. His family moved to Mansfeld in 1484, where his father was a leaseholder of copper mines and smelters, and served as one of four citizen representatives on the local council. Martin Marty describes Luther's mother as a hard-working woman of "trading-class stock and middling means," and notes that Luther's enemies would later wrongly describe her as a whore and bath attendant. He had several brothers and sisters, and is known to have been close to one of them, Jacob.

	Luther's translation of the Bible into the vernacular, making it more accessible to ordinary people, had a tremendous political impact on the church and on German culture. The translation also furthered the development of a standard version of the German language, added several principles to the art of translation, and influenced the translation of the English King James Bible. His hymns inspired the development of congregational singing within Christianity. His marriage to Katharina von Bora set a model for the practice of clerical marriage within Protestantism.

	While initially pro-~~Jewish~~ for a time, as he was under the impression that the ~~Jews~~ would convert to his church if he broke away from Catholicism, he revised his views on the matter when this not occurred and after having read the [[Talmud]] and wrote the [[anti-Semitic]] book ''On the ~~Jews~~ and Their Lies''.

	His ideas spread like wildfire, aided by the newly invented printing press. Finally he's called before the German imperial parliament, in the city of Worms, and told he must recant. Risking torture and execution, Luther nevertheless refused and proclaimed his inalienable right to believe what he wished. He said, "Unless I am convicted by scripture and plain reason I do not accept the authority of popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other. My conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen." The first accounts of this scene also have him saying, "Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise."		His ideas spread like wildfire, aided by the newly invented printing press.

	Many of his criticisms were religious and against [[Judaism]], which therefore would not apply if the ~~Jews~~ converted, but politically correct sources tend to describe them as [[racist]].

	During his later years, Luther wrote harsh texts generally, not just regarding ~~Jews~~ and Judaism, stating that [[Anabaptists]] should be hanged as seditionists and that the [[pope]] was the [[Antichrist]]. Various explanations have been proposed, such as deteriorating health and chronic pain, insomnia, depression after deaths of friends and relatives, expectation of the imminent end of the world, and deep disappointment over certain failures of the religious reforms.<ref>Martin Luther https://www.britannica.com/biography/Martin-Luther</ref><ref>Martin Luther https://www.encyclopedia.com/people/philosophy-and-religion/protestant-christianity-biographies/martin-luther</ref>		During his later years, Luther wrote harsh texts generally, not just regarding jews and Judaism, stating that [[Anabaptists]] should be hanged as seditionists and that the [[pope]] was the [[Antichrist]].

	Luther wrote the [[anti-Semitic]] [https://christiansfortruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/The-~~Jews~~-And-Their-Lies.pdf ''On the ~~Jews~~ and Their Lies''] in 1543. He alleged various negative characteristics and actions and proposed various measures against these. The most well-known and often quoted sentence in the treatise may be the sentence "we are at fault in not slaying them". This is often alleged to mean Luther advocated a future genocide of ~~Jews~~. However, it occurred after Luther had alleged killings by ~~Jews~~ in the past of Christ and Christians and may therefore refer to Luther finding fault with alleged past ~~Jewish~~ crimes not having been punished in the past. Elsewhere in the text, Luther clearly stated various proposed anti-~~Jewish~~ measures that did not include a genocide (such as [[~~Jewish~~ expulsions]]). Later, Lutheran church bodies have denounced and dissociated themselves from Luther's statements.
