Semester II, Week 03: The Reformations, part 1
A volatile mix of theological and political aggravation was prevalent throughout western Europe in the 16th century. All that was needed was a spark to ignite it. That spark came in 1517 when a young friar named Martin Luther nailed a series of arguments to the door of a Church in Germany.
This lesson will discuss the life of this momentous figure. We will explore the events that shaped him and how he succeeded where others before had failed.
