Church History #9 Wild Pigs in a Dirty Vineyard: The Reformation Discipleship Freely
-
- Christianity
Time Period: 1500-1600
Topics: the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Ulrich Zwingli, Felix Manz, the Catholic Counter-Reformation
In this session, we explore the century that changed the landscape of the church (and all of Europe). We begin by looking at the life of Martin Luther whose understanding of grace, faith, and righteousness was transformed by reading Paul's letter to the Romans. And Luther's protest against the church's practice of selling "indulgences" sparked further debate and eventually a break with the Roman Catholic Church. Swiss theologians John Calvin, Ulrich Zwingli, and even Felix Manz also play critical roles in the diverse expressions of the Reformation in Europe.
