When Martin Luther nailed his famous 95 Theses to the door of Wittenberg Cathedral on 31st October 1517, he could had had no idea what would come next. We often think of him as the founder of the Christian denomination that bears his name, but Luther had no intention of founding his own church – at least in 1517.
So who was Martin Luther? What did he teach? How did he go from being a simple friar in an obscure corner of Germany to the famous firebrand who ignited a revolution in the Church? In this session, Dr Charlotte Gauthier (church historian and Assistant Director of Discipleship) will introduce you to the life and theology of Martin Luther, and what his teachings can tell us today.
