“Alone Before God” – What does this phrase mean to Luther? Why was this important to him? How did this get him to protest? How did he spread his dissenting views? What response did they provoke?
In your 300-word paper, you should briefly summarize the account and analyze the question – Why? Please provide 4 dates/periods as you write, e.g. the year when X happened, the century when Y happened, etc. Utilize the general historical questions – Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How as you go. Your reply should cite sources (text, video, web link, the eBook).

Please use and cite 2 sources (one of them should be your eBook, the second should be the material below, by Sherman). Make sure that you cite and use less than 20% of the total word count of your paper, cite properly your sources (MLA style – see instructions under “Originality and Format”). Have those two in-text citations in the assignment itself. and list them in the “works cited” section at the end of your assignment (again, see the links on MLA citation). For questions on originality see Policy on Academic Integrity. Violations of the policy (e.g. if more than 20% of the paper consists of non-original material, whether quoted or not cited, will result in grade nil – ‘zero’).
