20. The Life of Martin Luther (part 1)

The Reformation was triggered by Martin Luther's objections to the sale of indulgences, objections he distilled in his 95 Theses. The simple propositions swept through Europe in just a few months, sparking one of the greatest turning points in all of world history, and thrusting Luther himself into the center of the upheaval. In this lecture Bruce traces the early history of Luther, finishing up with the Diet of Worms in 1521, where Luther gave his famous "Here I Stand" speech.
