Sažetak
October 31, 1517 is taken as the official beginning of the Reformation. On this occasion, according to the legendary tradition, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the court church in Wittenberg. The first part of the article talks about what the indulgences that Luther wanted to dispute are, and also how they emerged and spread. Thereafter, the article presents the circumstances that led Luther to write his 95 theses, and those were primarily the unresolved theological issues related to indulgence preaching in the Church and whom the theses were primarily intended for. Also, it is investigated whether Luther's theses were a reformatory manifesto and a call to revolution or an invitation to theological debate. Finally, the article talks about the addressees of Luther's 95 theses and about the true repentance as the central theme of Luther’s 95 theses as well as about the repentance as the foundation of Luther's theology.
