Life in Martin Luther's time revolved around the dominant church. Especially for Luther, who was a monk. What has changed since is that society and Europe has been becoming more secular. As we saw in the magazines (german 3/4 klasse) around 50% of Germans claim they have no religious views. I think Martin Luther would be totally shocked by this statistic and by the secularity of the modern world.
ReplyDeleteThe video was interessante. Nice glasses though. When was this taken, 1960s? It's amazing how far religion has gone in Germany and the world.
ReplyDeleteI am learning about Martin Luther and the Reformation in World History class. Life in Luther's time was all about church and religion because the church controlled most parts of a person's life. Europe has become much less religious since Luther's time. The video was interesting.
