    About the Course

    In this course we will discuss the history of some ideas that have been hugely influential in the modern west and that were taken out to the rest
    of the world. The discussion centers on an extraordinary and historically important figure, a sixteenth century German man named Martin
    Luther. Luther is recognized today as the originator of many of the most significant ideas that continue to affect and shape who we as modern
    people are and how we see the world and ourselves for better and for worse. In the first section, we will explore why Luther thought the Bible

    This is a well-planned course that I learned a whole lot from. I was curious about Luther and church history to begin with, and this course satisfied that curiosity.

    I think this is a very good cours. I learned a lot of details about Luther and his influence on the european history and culture. The only thing that I regret is the lack of response to questions. Maybe this is du to a reduced noumber of participants at this last serie. Good luck for future courses.

    The only criticism that I have - the importance of the printing press was perhaps under-valued. In my opinion without the printing press Luther would be unknown and the reformation would not have happened at that time.

    I think this was a very interesting and informative course, although the lessons could have been a little bit longer! I do recommend this course strongly

    With looking up the different topics on YouTube, I found this class a great overview and basics. Very straight forward basic class touching the basics.

    Se le da demasiado crédito a Lutero, quien si en algo sobresalió fue en su arrogancia, orgullo y terquedad. ¿Que en la Iglesia Católica había excesos? Sí, igual que los había en el tiempo de San Francisco de Asís, pero el Pobrecillo reforzó la unidad cristiana. Lutero en cambio provocó un cisma, contrariando así el deseo de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo de que todos seamos uno.
