Abstract

The theoretical analysis of the philosophical - legal views of the theologian Martin Luther, the German religious and social figure, is presented.

The stages of the struggle  for the reform of the Catholic Church and for the return of its bases to their correspondence to the Bible from the Reformation times till the present time, are revealed.
