The article presents the main ideas of the Lutheran Reformation. The Author asks about the “Luther Effect” – the sustained influence of the protestant theology on the European culture and civilisation. The text tries to describe a problem of Luther's way and Luther's will.The reason of Luther`s writing of 95 Thesis in 1517 was that indulgence preachers had appeared in the vicinity of Wittenberg. After many events and coincidences the Reformation becomes a religious and political movement. The analysis describes following subjects: Luther's family life, the understanding of the Reformation Church, the role of the Reformation Cities and political significance of the Reformation Dukes. There is a conclusion at the end of the article that Luther changed the world and that`s why in 2017, the Protestant church is celebrating the 500th anniversary of Luther’s 95 theses.
