TOP REVIEWS FROM LUTHER AND THE WEST
I loved this class. I learned a lot, became a better person, and have cited it a couple times in other classes.
Excellent course covering the complete historical, political, and spiritual development of Martin Luther and his influence on Western intellectual thought.
Fun and interesting course. I was exposed to info all new to me. Thanks.
This is a well-planned course that I learned a whole lot from. I was curious about Luther and church history to begin with, and this course satisfied that curiosity.
