Disputation of Doctor Martin Luther on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences
Synopsis
This work consists of propositions put forward by Martin Luther in 1517 regarding the power and effectiveness of indulgences. Written in a disputational form, it challenges a central practice associated with the Catholic Church: the offering of indulgences, understood as certificates intended to reduce punishment for sins in purgatory. Luther questions whether the pope can validly exercise authority over souls in this way and contrasts the value of genuine repentance with the notion that purchased pardons can achieve spiritual outcomes. Presented for scholarly debate, the theses became the focus of major theological contention.
