Luther lived in political times that combined church, politics, and personal ambitions. Not only were individuals ambitious with God, but within their political structures and the class-oriented structure of mediaeval society. And in this complicated mix, the monk Luther preached a Gospel of Grace and how no person could justify themselves before God.
Presentation by Dr. Jarrett Carty from the theology department of Concordia University.
Services at 9:30 a.m. (German) and 11 a.m. (English) followed by a simple lunch.
Presentation to begin around 12:30 p.m. Discussion until 2 p.m.
