One long piece of parchment, 95 arguments, a nail and a hammer…that pretty much sums up the Protestant Reformation!

Don’t we all wish it was that easy. Yet through Martin Luther’s courage on that pivotal 31st day of October, 1517, a revolution was ignited that would change the church and the world forever.

While we know the historical and theological implications of the Reformation, the church must turn its attention to the hard lessons learned from the Reformers. This means that we need to peel back the ugly chapters of the revolutionists, including the older Luther and the cantankerous Swiss Brethren. Consider what the later years of these Reformers can teach the church today about creating space for theological dialogue and innovation.

Our conversation features Dr. Glenn Jonas of Campbell University. Jonas is the Associate Dean College of Arts & Sciences, Charles Howard Professor of Religion Christian Studies, Director of the Honors Program, and the legendary scholar of the Boss (Bruce Springsteen).
