The Life of Martin Luther (Part 3): 1483-1500
Episode 126
Thursday, 2 April, 2026
In this episode, Kyle, Andrew, and James look at young Luther in his student years in Eisenach and Erfurt. We discuss the history of those places (including some interesting 20th century history of those places under communism), Luther's thirst for clarity and certainty that his law studies didn't satisfy, and the penitential system of the medieval church. We hope you enjoy.
