Amsdorf was the conservative gadfly of the Lutheran reformation. He was born on December 3, 1483, at Torgau, the second among six brothers. 1 He began his university studies at Leipzig in 1500 but quickly transferred to Wittenberg in 1502, where his uncle, Johannes von Staupitz, was professor of Bible and dean of the theological faculty.
Luther’s faithful friend and defender, Nikolaus von Amsdorf was instrumental in turning Magdeburg into a bastion for Lutheranism. He was involved in many theological controversies, sometimes edging toward theological extremes in his passion for defending Luther’s teachings.
