Episode 5

23m
Western Christianity changed forever during Martin Luther's lifetime. Profoundly gifted and profoundly flawed, Luther had an enduring desire to proclaim "Jesus Christ and him crucified." As a result of Luther's untiring efforts, Christian leaders across Europe sought to bring all of life into accordance with God's Word, often achieving very different results.

In this message, Dr. Godfrey discusses the enduring legacies of both Martin Luther and the Anabaptist movement.
