Description

One last episode on the Crusades. This time we look at Luther's view of the Crusades...which was less than favorable. In fact, he warned Christians that participation in a holy war amounted to blasphemy. 


We read through an excellent article from 1945 by LCMS professor George W. Forell: Luther and the War Against the Turks. Throughout the article, we intersperse our reactions and comments.
