The Christian and Secular media are both noting the fact that it is five hundred years since Martin Luther nailed up his 95 thesis against the sale of indulgences; which became a seminal moment in what ultimately became The Reformation. As well as talking about it a bit in a church on Sunday morning, I've been listening to a brilliant online lecture series by Dr Carl Trueman about all things Reformation. It's informative, alarming, sometimes funny, and Trueman turns about to be rather generous to his opponents; perhaps more so in person than in print! If you want to know what Luther was "the Jimi Hendrix of The Reformation", or why Zwingli was "The Doors of The Reformation", then look no further! The entire series is found here: https://faculty.wts.edu/lectures/lecture-01-the-reformation-with-dr-carl-trueman/ He doesn't even mention Led Zeppelin until the third lecture, which for Trueman is quite good going.
That Hideous Man posts his rather dull thoughts here. Watch this space, or indeed, go somewhere else.
