Episode 192: The Diet of Worms

Martin Luther's early Reformation built to one moment: the Diet of Worms. Held in the spring of 1521, the Diet of Worms offered Luther his first chance to lay out his faith before the Princes of Germany and the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V. Before doing so, however, Luther wrote three crucial works that will define the early evangelical movement in Germany, the most important of which was On the Freedom of a Christian, which, theologically, is denser than his 95 Theses.  Western Civ 2.0 Free Trial: www.glow.fm/westerncivSupport the Show at: www.patreon.com/westerncivpodcastWebsite: www.westerncivpodcast.com
