The Reformation was a multifaceted movement to change the ways that Christians understood and practiced their faith. Martin Luther and his colleagues at the University of Wittenberg worked tirelessly to create resources and institutions to make this happen. This presentation will explore their efforts to establish churches, schools, and just societies that would foster good preaching, faithful worship, biblical literacy, and especially love of neighbor. Good Shepherd member Anna Johnson is Associate Professor of Reformation History at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in Evanston, a seminary of the United Methodist Church. She is also the author of Reforming Faith: The Wittenberg Circle and the Reformation of Christian Life.
