Period+1+Luther+09


 * Martin Luther** had a small head-start on Tyndale, as Luther declared his intolerance for the Roman Church’s corruption on Halloween in **1517**, by nailing his 95 Theses of Contention to the Wittenberg Church door. Luther, who would be exiled in the months following the Diet of Worms Council in **1521** that was designed to martyr him, would translate the New Testament into German for the first time from the 1516 Greek-Latin New Testament of Erasmus, and publish it in September of **1522**. Luther also published a [|German Pentateuch in 1523], and another edition of the[| German New Testament in 1529]. In the 1530’s he would go on to publish the entire Bible in German. [] [] []
