The Swan’s Triumphant Song: From Worms to the Wartburg Martin Luther was not the first ‘heretic’ to stand before the collective might of church and state. He was just one of the few who lived to tell the tale. Already some one hundred years earlier, the Bohemian pre-reformer Jan Hus, who...

Happy Labor Day! In celebration here are Martin Luther’s 82 volumes of Works in English, most of which are fully online, including his many commentaries on Biblical books: Martin Luther’s Works at ReformedBooksOnline Rejoice and be glad; these are days of thanksgiving! “Let all those that...

Was Luther a "lutheran" in today's sense of the word (like LCMS)? I've heard that Luther himself was much more like Calvin than the later lutherans (like those who wrote the lutheran confessions). I've heard that Luther was pleased with Calvin's teaching on the sacraments. My question is would...

This helpful academic journal article from Dr. Ronald N. Frost delineates the role played by Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics in fostering the medieval scholasticism that the Protestant Reformers sought to replace with a purer Augustinian theology. Crucial topics explored within Aristotle’s...

It seems inevitable these days that any mention of Luther results in someone pointing out, "Yeah, but what about his anti-Semitism?" I've done some reading around - primarily on the internet - and I still can't shake the feeling that Luther's views aren't being fairly represented or understood...

Preaching from John 16:3, Martin Luther observes: The true knowledge of God and of Christ has often been defined. It is not an idle, empty thought or dream, as reason is able to think of God and Christ on the basis of hearsay, and as it pictures Him and acts toward Him according to such...

Hello 'y all! Do you have any good Reformation movies to suggest? I have seen the latest Luther film, yesterday I have the documentary movie of Luther's wife Katharina, I have seen Wycliffe movie, Pilgrim's Progress, Amazing Grace movie - slavery, and the Amazing Grace: History of...

I'm still working my way through Scott Hahn's book. My contention had been that Michael Horton was correct to direct people to interact with Ratzinger/Benedict's theology, but wrong to recommend a work like Hahn's, given that Hahn would not only provide a summary of Ratzinger/Benedict, but would...
