Ninety-five Theses, a work of 95 one- or two-sentence propositions for debate, written in Latin by Martin Luther and concerned with the question of indulgences. According to tradition, Luther posted the theses on the door of the Schlosskirche (Castle Church) in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517 (see Researcher’s Note). Originally intended to promote academic discussion, Luther’s theses became a manifesto that turned a protest about a German indulgence scandal into the greatest crisis in the history of Western Christianity. Ultimately, Luther and his followers were excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church. The writing (and supposed posting) of the theses came to be considered the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, and October 31 is celebrated annually by Lutherans and certain other Protestants as Reformation Day.

Too bad some brave Muslim doesn’t nail his 95 theses to the mosque door. Islam needs a Reformation.
