Summary
As the Biblical text transforms Luther's positions on grace and justification, he shifts his writing from disputations to letters targeted at the common man, secular rulers, and the Roman church. These letters are called the Three Treatises. The fellows dive into the context and contents of these letters and discuss their greater significance to the Reformation as a whole. Sit back, relax, grab a drink, and enjoy the show.
