In 1517, Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses, an act often linked with the start of
the Reformation. In this work, Eric Leland Saak argues that the 95 Theses do not signal
Luther's break from Roman Catholicism. An obedient Observant Augustinian Hermit, Luther's
self-understanding from 1505 until at least 1520 was as Brother Martin Luther, Augustinian,
not Reformer, and he continued to wear his habit until October 1524. Saak demonstrates
that Luther's provocative act represented the culmination of the late medieval Reformation.
It was only the failure of this earlier Reformation that served as a catalyst for
the onset of the sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation. Luther's true Reformation
discovery had little to do with justification by faith, or with his 95 Theses. Yet
his discoveries in February of 1520 were to change everything
