On Oct. 31, 2017, we mark the 500th anniversary of Luther posting his 95 Theses. Caricatures about Luther and Ignatius abound: did they elevate reason so far as to discount faith...or were they stalwart captives to blind faith....how did their spirituality try to strike a balance? join us as we explore these two important figures from the 16th century who still impact Christianity and the world today.
