Life and times of Martin Luther
Steve does a great job of giving you the background of the times before and during Martin Luther so that you get a full understanding of how his thesis evolved. Every episode has been a great history lesson, not just on Martin Luther, but the rulers and people of those days! And, thanks to Steve for “shout out”, he does read all your comments and emails!!
Great historical accounts
This is a great single-narrator of history on Martin Luther. It goes into enough detail to be truly informative, without bogging down in minutia. I have used this source to prepare to teach lessons on Martin Luther. His voice and delvery are excellent and pleasant.
Martin Luther podcast
I truly appreciate the time and effort that you have put into your research on Martin Luther! Understanding the times and circumstances one finds themselves in, adds to the complete story and gives insight as to why things happened or at least influenced the direction of Luthers life.
As I am only on episode three, I shall look forward to finding new discoveries on Luthers life. It seems quite evident that you like Luther, so may I suggest that you listen to a series by R C Sproul, on the Ligonier website, on Luther. Well worth your time. GES
