EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking 16th century engraving captures the pivotal moment in history when Martin Luther, a German theologian and Augustinian priest, publicly burned the papal bull Exsurge Domine (Arise, O Lord) on December 10, 1520, in Wittenberg, Germany. The bull, issued by Pope Leo X, had demanded Luther recant his writings, which were critical of the Catholic Church. Having been excommunicated earlier that year, Luther's defiant act symbolized his rejection of papal authority and marked the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Surrounded by a crowd of supporters, Luther stands confidently before the bonfire, holding the bull aloft as flames consume the document. The engraving, a powerful visual representation of the Reformation's spirit of rebellion against the established Church, underscores the significance of this pivotal moment in European history. As a Doctor of Theology, Luther's theological insights, most notably his belief in justification by faith alone, would come to shape the foundations of Lutheranism. His actions sparked a religious and political upheaval that would reshape Europe and leave an indelible mark on the modern age.
