Who are the most interesting and famous populist leaders in Christianity history, past or present?
What made Martin Luther a populist leader?
Luther was a populist leader because he spoke directly to the common people, rather than exclusively addressing the elites of his time. He translated the Bible into German, so that ordinary people could read it for themselves, and he preached that salvation could be achieved through faith alone, without the need for costly religious works or sacraments. This message resonated with many people who were frustrated with the corruption and elitism of the Catholic Church.
