Luther's Fortress Quotes

“Now Luther suddenly proclaimed that his decision to become a monk had been wicked. It was a sin against his father’s authority, and neither free nor voluntary. It was taken out of terror and superstition as a hot youth. As a result he had become a prime target for Satan. Given Satan’s persistent effort to destroy or hinder him, he sometimes wondered “whether I was the only man in the whole world whom he was seeking.”
