The Lutheran church was founded after Martin Luther and his followers were kicked out of the Church of Rome at the Edict of Worms.
Martin Luther exposed the contradictions and corruptions of the church leaders and sought to reform their ways and get back to the basics of the bible.
The Lutherans originally wanted to be called "Evangelicals", but the term "Lutherans" stuck.
The Lutherans are the largest branch of the Protestants.
The Lutherans stood up to corruption and got back to the basics of the bible.
