Приносът на Мартин Лутер в културата
Martin Luther's Contribution to Cultural History

Summary/Abstract: The theme of the proposed short essay "Martin Luther's Contribution to Cultural History" is an attempt for a broader view of the reformer's activities. In addition to being a Protestant theologian, Martin Luther was a translator, a poet, and a composer of church hymns, which did not go unnoticed by his contemporaries, the artists Lucas Cranach the Elder and Lucas Cranach the Younger. The author's goal is to outline some perspectives of Martin Luther's activity, to pay attention to the historical context in which it occurred, to mention the main reasons that contributed to its course, and to briefly show how Luther's personality is reflected in the works of Cranach father and son. The essential part of the work in the study is based on the interpretation of materials from various fields of scientific knowledge related to Martin Luther and his work, yet in view of the specifics of the discussed issues, emphasis is placed on the theological aspect of the message. Knowledge from other humanities is also present, which, according to the author, could illustrate an idea of the real scale of the work carried out by the Protestant theologian.
