 Pretty intense documentary by PBS

Aug 17– Address to the Christian Nobility of the German Nation Respecting the Reformation of the Christian Estate by Martin Luther (1520) translated by C. A. Bucheim

Summary: People can interpret the Bible themselves.

Commentary: I went through three stages of reading this.

Stage 1: How much do I really care about Martin Luther arguing with Catholics.

Stage 2: I guess this is an important historical document.

Stage 3: Expanded to life in general, this is really what T5FSOB and a liberal education is all about. The only way for a free society to work is if we respect each other's ability to gather information and make decisions. This isn't to say that there can't be any laws or whatever, but you can't have one "pope" or a handful of bishops just dictating everything to everyone.
