Western Christianity changed forever during Martin Luther's lifetime. Profoundly gifted and profoundly flawed, Luther had an enduring desire to proclaim "Jesus Christ and him crucified." As a result of Luther's untiring efforts, Christian leaders across Europe sought to bring all of life into accordance with God's Word, often achieving very different results. Of the many expressions of Christianity that emerged during this time, the Anabaptists puzzled and distressed Catholics and Protestants alike. In this message, Dr. Godfrey discusses the enduring legacies of both Martin Luther and the Anabaptist movement.
