This episode explores the events leading up to Martin Luther's historic stand at Wittenberg with guest Adam Francisco.

Before Luther ever took hammer to door, forces were already at work reshaping the soul of Europe and Christianity. In this episode, Adam Francisco joins us to unpack the theological disputes, the issues of the scholastics and vain philosophy, the need for ad fontes, and longing for reform that pushed a young monk toward his historic stand at Wittenberg.
