Sample question
In which city did Martin Luther post his 95 Theses on the church door in 1517?
"For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law."Romans 3:28
October 31, 1517. Luther nailed (or possibly mailed) his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg — a public bulletin board, not a defiant manifesto in 1517. The theses challenged the practice of selling indulgences and accidentally lit the fuse on a movement Luther himself didn't quite anticipate.
