Discussion of Length on Luther and Early LIfe Section
The last paragraph of the section pertaining to Luther's early life discusses the bolt of lightening which nearly struck him. It is felt that this paragraph requirs further detailing as it illustrates the event in which changed his life forever. The fact that the course of his life changed during a thunderstorm in the summer of 1505 should be emphasized as one cannot help but ask 'had he not been nearly struck by lightening, would there have ever been a Protestant Reformation"' A more explicit version of this life changing experience would be to add the following: To Luther this was not just a weather related accident. He had been struggling with his guilt, his doubts and the dark night of his soul. To him the storm raging all around him was emblematic. [March 24 07] (YU)
