Q

Luther, On War Against the Turk, 1529

A

Christian first needs to mend own ways

Failures in war so far because Pope condemns my articles

Disgusted that neither great Lords nor scholars at pains to give us any certain knowledge about life of Turks, spiritually or temporally

I have some of Koran - must translate into German so everyone can see what a ‘foul and shameful’ book it is

Islam rules with arms, as does Pope

Pope = antichrist
Turk = devil

Islam = polygamous

It is said, indeed, that the Turks are, among themselves, faithful and friendly. But Devil hides behind works of light

If emp were to destroy unbelievers must start with Pope, bishops, clergy

Jesus’s coming not far off

Charles V should do what he can do

Fighting Turk not like fighting King of France. Turk = different kind of warrior, with money and people in abundance
