Luther was a theologian and Augustinian monk whose teachings inspired the Protestant Reformation and greatly influenced the doctrines of Protestant and other Christian traditions. His perspective on Christianity appealed to numerous individuals as some viewed him as heretic while others saw him as an advocate for religious freedom and truth. In July 1505, Martin was caught in a fear-provoking thunderstorm. Petrified that he was going to die, he screamed out a vow ‘Save me, Saint Anna and I shall become a monk’. As the storm subsided he was saved, as a result he entered a monastery within a month.
