The Religious Revolution That Changed Our World
Dr. Loyd Allen ~ A Lecture & Discussion

On October 17, 1517, the German monk Martin Luther nailed Ninety-five Theses to the church door in Wittenberg. He meant them to spark a discussion in his university about God’s ways with humanity. Instead they sparked a firestorm of protest which changed the face of European and American history, as well as that of the Christian faith, forever.
During this 500th anniversary year of this watershed event, Dr. Loyd Allen, Professor of Church History at Mercer University, will explain the Protestant Reformation: why it happened, what happened, and why it matters today.
