Is Wikipedia a 'reliable source' for Martin Luther?

Hello all,

I am not Lutheran but I was reading about him with the family. You see, there is a town in England who has different martyrs listed as street names successively, and Martin Luther was one of them. I knew who he was, what he was famous for, but my family didn't know a lot about him so we read about him on Wikipedia.

If you get the time or inclination or, perhaps you already know the answer, could you read and let me know if you think Wikipedia is a fair representation of Martin Luther's life and work?

Martin Luther - Wikipedia

If not, is there somewhere else we can learn about him?

Thank you and God bless.

That article in Wikipedia seems to be accurate. If you are into reading 420 pages Roland Bainton's book (Here I Stand The Life of Martin Luther) is worthwhile.

Other reliable information can be obtained by an internet search. I recommend Lutheran or Reformed sites.
