Question / Issue

martin luther: what about his writings (the jews and their lies) is there a big misinterpetation of it?

Answer / Solution

It should be noted that Martin Luther, while one of the pre-eminent leaders of the Reformation, was still just a man. And as such he had certain opinions and what we would call biases. If you are a serious student of Martin Luther and read his entire writings, you will see that he also had a heart for the Jews to know Jesus.

While we might say that Martin Luther made some angry and un-Christian comments about Jews, it is but a very small portion of his writings, and occurs mostly in the latter years as he grew frustrated with their refusal to accept Jesus as the Messiah.
