Happy Reformation Sunday!

Luther nails his 95 thesis to the door of Wittenburg Cathedral

If you don’t know anything about the reformation, Alastair could probably lend you a book on it (and I have Martin Luther’s biography, if anyone wants that). I say this, because I am in easy contact with practically everyone who reads this blog.

If anyone could give me a link to an overview of the reformation, I’d appreciate that. There is the wikipedia page on the reformation, but that’s written from a secular point of view and is too long for a human being to read on screen.

Update: There are several good articles linked in the comments of this post

I’d never heard of Reformation Sunday in my life until today…..! I feel slightly clever now though :-)!

(Just to remind you….aren’t you supposed to be avoiding the internet on Sundays???…and weekdays come to think of it!)
God bless

I stumbled on your site quite by accident. I am a theological librarian in Chicago. Don’t know if you are still looking for a reformation overview, but if you are then you might try this site, http://www.newgenevacenter.org/west/reformation.htm

There are also many good resources on the Wabash Center Guide here: http://www.wabashcenter.wabash.edu/Internet/reformation.htm

Thanks.
