The Untold Story of the Spanish Reformation | Dr. Andy Messmer

n this interview, I'm joined by Dr. Andy Messmer to discuss the Spanish Reformation--which, if you're anything like me, you might have never heard about. In our wide-ranging discussion, Dr. Messmer shares some of the key figures and ideas that came out of the Spanish Reformation as well as why it ultimately failed to take hold. To understand that, we dive into the Spanish Inquisition as well as what the church in Spain looks like today. Dr. Messmer is at the forefront of studying the Spanish Reformation, and it was a true privilege to get to learn from him. Dr. Messmer's Translation of Reina's Confession of Faith: https://amzn.to/3ISGHruDr. Messmer's Book on Protestantism (in Spanish): https://amzn.to/3ITWRRxWant to support the channel?
