The issue that made Martin Luther write this treatise is connected to the relationship

between the Germans and their rulers. In his writing, Luther stated that rulers were mad and

thought they could do and order their subjects on what to do as they please. On the other hand,

the subjects believed that they were bound to obey and submit to their rulers' commands. The

main issue came into the picture when the secular German rulers took things far beyond and

started ordering the people to eliminate some of the books, believe specific facts, and conform to

certain prescribed rules (Lull & Russell, 429). This situation is likened to controlling the

subjects and presumptuously taking God’s place in lording over people’s faith, consciences, and

knowledge of the Holy Spirit.

The act of people obeying the prescribed rules issued by the German rulers instead of

conforming to God’s commands caused a lot of concern to Martin Luther. In his writing, he

states that “Let every soul be subject to the governing authority, for there is no authority except

God.” Martin Luther feels that by conforming to the German rulers, the people did not follow

God’s law which was a challenge to the true authority (Lull & Russell, 429). It was disastrous

that the Germans had failed to listen to him for the first time, and he sought to write to them with

hopes that they would recognize the powerful notion behind the issue and the position they had

put their rulers. He further states that the German Rulers felt very powerful, as “God had made

them mad,” and no one could disagree or challenge them on governance issues.
