Extract from Luther on Islam and the Papacy – To read the full work, click “Download” below.
The pioneer Protestant Reformer Rev. Prof. Dr. Martin Luther (1483-1546) … lived at a time when the Papacy had corrupted the whole of the Western Church. At the same time, Islam was swallowing up much of what was left of the Eastern Church.
After Luther learned to trust in Christ alone for his salvation in 1517f, he increasingly saw both Islam and the Papacy as the two huge apostasies which the Holy Scriptures predicted would long obscure True Christianity — until both would ultimately be quashed and vanquished.
