 M. Luthers Life: The 95 Theses   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In this letter he included 95 Theses which were to be used as the basis for a discussion on the topic.
That Luther hammered his theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg belongs to the realm of legends (the legend of Nailing the 95 Theses to the Door of the Castle Church).
The most vehement voice against the theses was the Indulgence Priest Tetzel, who supposedly categorized Luther as a follower of the heretic Jan Hus and threatened to have him burned at the stake.

 The 95 Theses
Bishops and curates are bound to admit the commissaries of papal indulgences with all reverence.
But they are much more bound to strain their eyes and ears lest these men preach their own dreams instead of what the pope has commissioned.
To repress these very sharp arguments of the laity by force alone, and not to resolve them by giving reasons, is to expose the church and the pope to the ridicule of their enemies and to make Christians unhappy.

That these treasures are note temporal are clear from the fact that many of the merchants do not grant them freely, but only collect them.
These questions are serious matters of conscience to the laity.

 English 233: Study Guide to Luther's "95 Theses"
Conclusion: these penalties of sin -- the remorse suffered by souls in purgatory on their way to heaven -- are outside the power of the pope to remit.
In Theses 30-40, the chief emphasis here is the necessity, for sinners, of a proper understanding of the requirement for genuine contrition, and the way in which indiscriminate peddling of indulgences implicitly preaches the contrary.
In Theses 41-46, the emphasis shifts the risks that lie in presenting purchase of pardons as instances of good works, when, in their effect on the soul, or what they signify about the condition of the soul, is far inferior to what is accomplished by works of charity.

 Luther's 95 Theses
It is not in accordance with Christian doctrines to preach and teach that those who buy off souls, or purchase confessional licenses, have no need to repent of their own sins.
That these treasures are not temporal are clear from the fact that many of the merchants do not grant them freely, but only collect them.
But they are under a much greater obligation to watch closely and attend carefully lest these men preach their own fancies instead of what the pope commissioned.

 Facts about the 95 Theses or the Disputation Against Indulgences
According to Luther's co-worker, Philipp Melanchthon, Luther also posted the Theses to the Castle church door on this same day, though that is the only source that we have that mentions it.
(3) The purpose of the 95 Theses was to invite local scholars to a disputation on indulgences.
Luther did not intend the Theses to be a program for reform, an attack on the Pope, etc. He was simply questioning indulgences, something he had done ever since his first lectures on the Psalms (1513-14).

 95 Theses for Apostolic Reformation
Each of the Theses (plural for Thesis - "a proposition that a person advances and offers to maintain by argument") are given with the same goal in mind as the Protestant reformer Martin Luther had when he posted 95 Theses on the door of the church in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517.
These reformers principally gained back three vital things: The authority of the Bible, salvation by grace through faith, and the priesthood of all believers in Jesus Christ.

 Reformation: Martin Luther
These indulgences had become big business in much the same way pledge drives have become big business for public television in modern America.
Luther's Theses, which outlined his theological argument against the use of indulgences, were based on the notion that Christianity is fundamentally a phenomenon of the inner world of human beings and had little or nothing to do with the outer world, such as temporal punishments.
It is this fundamental argument, not the controversy of the indulgences themselves, that most people in the church disapproved of and that led to Luther's being hauled into court in 1518 to defend his arguments against the cardinal Cajetan.

What I attempt to demonstrate in these 95 Theses — from the pages of the Bible — is that the concept of a State is a Humanistic, not a Biblical, idea.
My purpose in publishing these 95 Theses is to destroy that myth; to show that the State has no moral legitimacy and must be abolished.

Theses seventy-two through ninety-five aim to identify the expectations (thesis 76, 77,78,95) and changes (thesis 72) that exist within the new marketplace and how those expectations and changes will require a corresponding change from organisations (thesis 79, 84, 91, 92,94).
