Matthias Gerung, Folly of IndulgencesIn this woodcut by Matthias Gerung, the sale of indulgences is viciously satirized. With one claw in the holy water symbolizing the rite of purification, and the other claw resting on the coins paid for indulgences, the church, in the form of a rapacious eagle with its right hand stretched out for offerings, writes out an indulgence with excrement--which represents its worth. Fools, in a false security, sit in the animal's gaping mouth, representing hell.

Meeting that formulated LutheranismIn this woodcut of the Augsburg Confession being read to Charles V, the artist has included text and images of the Lutheran teachings on the sacraments and the nature of salvation in the background. In contrast are the images on the left of a papal ceremony and court hierarchy in which, the artist implies, Christ is not present.

Luther believed: Salvation comes by faith alone, not works. Religious authority resides in the Bible, (“sola

scriptura”) not the Pope, and is open to interpretation by one’s conscience.

The church is a community of believers, not just clergy.

All vocations are equal in the eyes of God. There are only 3 sacraments: baptism ,the Lord’s

Supper (Eucharist or Holy Communion) and penance. The importance of marriage. A women’s place was in the home. Consubstantiation rather than transubstantiation.
