| On October 31st, 1517*, Martin Luther posted 95 Theses on the door of a church in Wittenberg. At the time it must have seemed like a minor point. After all, academic disputes are common. It can be said that a scholar's job is to disagree. In retrospect this publication was seen as the beginning of the Reformation, a total upheaval of Western Christianity that still resonates today. |
