Katie Luther, First Lady of the Reformation Quotes

“There were dozens of great religious leaders who were contemporaries of Martin Luther, as well as hundreds before and after. But he alone fit the bill as the great Reformer. Sure, the times were right. Sure, someone else would have come along. But no one else had the intellect and personality to carry it out, with its three most critical components: biblical teachings and translation; daring disputations on wide-ranging church traditions; and, most scandalous of all, clerical marriage demonstrated by his own public marriage to Katharina von Bora.”
