A short biography of Martin Luther, by Gustav Just, who taught at Bethlehem Evangelical Lutheran School, St. Louis,

Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a German priest, theologian, author, hymnwriter, professor, and Augustinian friar. Luther was the seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation, and his theological beliefs form the basis of Lutheranism. He is regarded as one of the most influential figures in Western and Christian history.

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the number of languishing projects on our server, we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't recorded anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).

Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process unless you are the BC or PL. Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

I just noticed that there's a group version of this in the catalog already. Do you want to continue with it?

Yes, I noticed that, too, after I'd already posted here. But a solo version may still be warranted, just
to give people a choice. What are your thoughts?

Yes, that's fine with me. Some readers prefer solos anyway.

Great job. Not really a surprise as you are a terrific reader. This is a nice easy work to listen to so far. All four chapters are PL OK.

Thanks,

Interesting, indeed! Before this book, I had no idea just how corrupt and downright evil some of those popes were.
