The emeritus professor of Philosophy of Religion and History of Religions at UNED, Manuel Fraijó, analyses the figure of Martin Luther from a current perspective, situating the cultural legacy of the work of the Augustinian theologian, where he points out the significance of his translation of the Bible into German. In addition, he addresses the first part of his biography, with notable episodes such as the so-called “experience of the tower” in relation to the anguish over his salvation, the trip to Rome and the differences with Erasmus of Rotterdam. Today converted into a father of the Church for the Protestant and Catholic confessions, as the speaker clarifies, Luther's intention was not to create a new religion but to reform the existing one.
