Without some needless words, we would like to start this article giving you the ideas on writing your paper on the 95 Theses of Martin Luther. Probably, you have to write a philosophy term paper on the 95 Theses or a paper for the History class. After all, the type of paper on the 95 Theses and the discipline you are writing for are not that important. There are some aspects that should be considered anyway.
 
First of all, if you want to complete your assignment about the 95 Theses successfully, you need to know a lot about the historical period when Martin Luther lived.
 
The Medieval times are usually associated with one distinctive feature – enormous power of church. On the one hand, church had almost total control over peoples’ lives. On the other, people believed in God, believed in life after death and were afraid of possible punishments for their sins.
 
Unfortunately, church found a good way of manipulating peoples’ fears. For a certain sum of money people could easily get salvation in the form of indulgences. This was the main reason why Martin Luther created his 95 Theses and nailed them to the door of the church. He strongly believed that sins should not be forgiven by means of paying money. His 95 Theses tried to persuade people to return to the life with God in their hearts.
 
Another issue that should be definitely reflected in your paper on the 95 Theses is the reaction of church. Needless to say, reaction was negative, and Martin Luther was threatened to be burnt for his 95 Theses. However, a lot of people, especially rich ones, supported his ideas. So, while writing your assignment on the 95 Theses, you should try to explain their reasons.
 
There is one more idea left that we would like you to know. Your tutor will be looking for your interpretation and understanding of the 95 Theses. Thus, give your explanations and opinions when completing this assignment.
