El libro Colección Martín Lutero, aborda los ensayos de este teólogo, fraile católico agustino y reformador religioso alemán que vivió entre 1483 y 1546.
Fue en cuyas enseñanzas se inspiró la Reforma Protestante. Inauguró la doctrina teológica y cultural denominada luteranismo e influyó en las demás tradiciones protestantes. Su exhortación para que la Iglesia regresara a las enseñanzas originales de las Antiguas Iglesias Orientales (o Iglesias Ortodoxas Orientales) y la Biblia, impulsó la transformación del cristianismo y provocó la Contrarreforma, como se conoce a la reacción de la Iglesia Católica Romana frente a la Reforma protestante.
Sus contribuciones a la civilización occidental fueron más allá del ámbito religioso, ya que sus traducciones de la Biblia ayudaron a desarrollar una versión estándar de la lengua alemana y se convirtieron en un modelo en el arte de la traducción.

Martin Luther changed the course of Western civilization by initiating the Protestant Reformation. As a priest and theology professor, he confronted indulgence salesmen with his 95 Theses in 1517. Luther strongly disputed their claim that freedom from God's punishment of sin could be purchased with money. His refusal to retract all of his writings at the demand of Pope Leo X in 1520 and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms meeting in 1521 resulted in his excommunication by the pope and condemnation as an outlaw by the emperor.
Luther taught that salvation is a free gift of God and received only by grace through faith in Jesus as redeemer from sin, not from good works. His theology challenged the authority of the pope of the Roman Catholic Church by teaching that the Bible is the only source of divinely revealed knowledge and opposed sacerdotalism by considering all baptized Christians to be a holy priesthood.
His translation of the Bible into the language of the people (instead of Latin) made it more accessible, causing a tremendous impact on the church and on German culture. It fostered the development of a standard version of the German language, added several principles to the art of translation, and influenced the translation into English of the King James Bible. His hymns inspired the development of singing in churches. His marriage to Katharina von Bora set a model for the practice of clerical marriage, allowing Protestant priests to marry.
