268. The Tormented Monk: Martin Luther's Spiritual Crisis


Listen Later

Step into the world of late medieval Catholicism and discover the spiritual crisis that shaped one of history's most influential reformers.

We explore the complex religious landscape Luther inherited, where salvation seemed locked behind a system of sacraments, purgatory, and papal indulgences.
