''In brief,'' Martin Luther was a German theologian in the sixteenth century whose teaching against [[purgatory]] and [[indulgences]] inspired the [[Reformation]] leading to the [[Protestant]] split from the [[Roman Catholic Church]]. Luther translated the [[Bible]] into his native German language and the [[hymns]] he wrote sparked anew the development of congregational singing in [[Christianity]].
