About the show

It's 1520. Martin Luther has been declared a heretic by Pope Leo X, and his books are being burned. How much longer before Luther himself is thrown into the fire? Enter the German Reformer's dramatic story with Luther: In Real Time. First released 500 years after the events described, this podcast allows you to walk in Martin Luther's footsteps from his heresy charges to his famous stand for the authority of God's Word at the Diet of Worms. Share this podcast with people of all ages so they can hear—in Luther's own words—what Protestants are protesting and why it still matters today.
