 Catholic Culture : Document Library : Martin Luther
When, therefore, Martin Luther, Doctor of Theology and priest of the Order of the Augustinian Hermits, came to Rome late in 1510, he was for the first time in his life confronted with the Renaissance—and this gave him a decisive trauma.

 Martin Luther (1483-1546)
Gerhard Brendler, Martin Luther: Theology and Revolution (1991; originally published in German, 1983), is a biography written from a Marxist perspective.
Luther was selected for advanced theological studies; some of his university teachers were Nominalists of the “modern” way of the English philosopher theologian William of Ockham, whose views undercut the prevailing rationalism of Scholasticism, the school of thought founded in the 11th century in an attempt to reconcile revelation with reason.
Luther had now to examine the further implications of his actions to date, in relation to the authority of the church, of councils, and of Scripture; his correspondence shows that he was reaching something like a crisis in his attitude to papal authority.
