In Chapter 9 of Foxe's Book of Martyrs, we delve into the life and courageous stand of Martin Luther, the German reformer whose bold actions ignited the Protestant Reformation. This episode explores Luther's defiance against the corrupt practices of the Roman Catholic Church, particularly his challenge to the sale of indulgences and his eventual excommunication.

Through a detailed account of Luther's struggles, we see how his unwavering commitment to Scripture and his conviction for doctrinal purity brought him into direct conflict with the papacy, leading to intense persecution. From the dramatic scene at the Diet of Worms to the protection he received from sympathetic princes, Luther’s story exemplifies the cost of standing firm in one's faith.

Join us as we examine Luther’s enduring legacy, the profound impact of his Reformation work, and the significance of his trials in shaping the future of Christianity.
