MARTIN LUTHER: THE RELUCTANT REVOLUTIONARY<br />
PROF. M. M. NINAN<br />
In February 1546 <strong>Luther</strong> journeyed, despite his failing health, to Eisleben, the town where he was<br />
born. He set out to mediate an embarrassing quarrel between two young and arrogant noblemen,<br />
the counts Albrecht and Gebhard of Mansfeld. He was successful, and he so informed his wife in<br />
what proved to be his last letter. One day later, on February 18, death came. His body was interred<br />
in the Castle Church in Wittenberg.<br />
