This is season 8 of Office Hours and we’re celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Reformation. This is part three of a three-part introduction to the Reformation. In part 1 we looked briefly at the background to the Reformation in the medieval church. In part 2 we looked at what the Reformation was and in this episode, part 3 we are thinking about the figure at the center of the Reformation: Martin Luther. The medieval and late medieval Christian lived in a theological world in which salvation was merely possible and never certain either in this life or in death. It was never more uncertain than it was in the two centuries leading up the Reformation.

Here is the episode.
