(ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Martin Luther was a German priest and p...)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Martin Luther was a German priest and professor of theology who initiated the Protestant Reformation. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment of sin could be purchased with money. He confronted indulgence salesman Johann Tetzel with his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the Emperor. Luther taught that salvation is not earned by good deeds but received only as a free gift of God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ as redeemer from sin. His theology challenged the authority of the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church by teaching that the Bible is the only source of divinely revealed knowledge and opposed sacerdotalism by considering all baptized Christians to be a holy priesthood. Those who identify with Luther's teachings are called Lutherans.

(To respond to various disagreements, the Christian church...)
To respond to various disagreements, the Christian church has often held councils to clarify matters of doctrine, and to lay down various rules for governing the church. The prototypical council is recorded in the Biblical book, 'The Acts of the Apostles'. In this case a serious disagreement arose over the need for coverts to the faith to be circumcised. As a result, a council was held in Jerusalem in the presence of the apostles. They decided there was only a need to 'abstain from food offered to idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood'. Since the time of the apostles numerous disagreements have arisen in the church over issues ranging from the nature of Christ to the place of images or icons within the context of worship. The councils assembled were of often local affairs, meant to deal with issues within a province. But in more far-reaching matters, general or 'ecumenical' councils were called, which were supposed to involve the entire Christian church. The councils in this work cover the period of the first seven ecumenical councils, until the year 787 AD. Included are: 1. Carthage under Cyprian (257 AD) 2. Ancyra (314 AD) 3. Neocaesarea (315 AD) 4. Nicaea I (325 AD) 5. Antioch in Encaeniis (341 AD) 6. Gangra (343 AD) 7. Sardica (344 AD) 8. Constantinople I (381 AD) 9. Constantinople (382 AD) 10. Laodicea (390 AD) 11. Constantinople under Nectarius (394 AD) 12. Carthage (419 AD) 13. Ephesus (431 AD) 14. Chalcedon (451 AD) 15. Constantinople II (553 AD) 16. Constantinople III (680 AD) 17. Constantinople"Trullo"Quinisext (692 AD) 18. Nicaea II (787 AD)

Athanasius of Alexandria (circa 296-298) d. 2 May 373 is also given the titles St. Athanasius the Great, Pope St. Athanasius I of Alexandria, St Athanasius the Confessor and (in the Coptic Orthodox Church, mainly) St Athanasius the Apostolic. He was the 20th bishop of Alexandria. His long episcopate lasted 45 years (c. 8 June 328 - 2 May 373), of which over 17 years were spent in five exiles ordered by four different Roman emperors. He is considered to be a renowned Christian theologian, a Church Father, the chief defender of Orthodoxy against Arianism, and a noted Egyptian leader of the fourth century. Athanasius two-part work of apologetics, Against the Heathen and The Incarnation of the Word of God, completed about 335, was the first great classic of developed Greek Orthodox theology. In Athanasius system, the Son of God, the eternal Word through whom God made the world, entered the world in human form to lead men back to the harmony from which they had fallen away.
