About this listen

 Explore the dramatic events of October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses to the Wittenberg church door. Discover what Luther actually objected to in the Catholic Church's indulgence system, how his academic disputation became a popular revolution, and why this single act of scholarly conscience ignited a firestorm that would transform Christianity forever. From Johann Tetzel's aggressive sales tactics to the rapid spread of Luther's ideas through the new printing press technology, this episode reveals how a small-town professor's theological concerns became the catalyst for the Protestant Reformation.
