Issue 39. Martin Luther

Summary
Not to much is widely known of Luther's life after he sparked the Protestant Reformation in 1517 and attended the Diet of Worms in 1521. And yet his later years merit as much attention as his youth. Luther left several lasting legacies on the Church: congregational singing, hymn-writing, the empowerment of women and the sacrament of marriage are a few among many. Join Christian History & Biography in looking at the achievements, influences and struggles of an old man for the sake of a young Church.
