On our View from Earth blog, we mark the five hundredth anniversary of the beginning with Martin Luther of the Protestant Reformation.
We go back with Tom Steele, with five episodes of “God’s Scotland” to the somewhat later effects of that Reformation here in Scotland.
Andrew Barr tells the story through the history of the pre-Reformation Crichton Kirk in the countryside of Midlothian.
We review two of the most important books which have been brought out this year to mark the anniversary. The first is “Martin Luther, Catholic Dissident” published by Hodder and Stoughton. The second is “Martine Luther, Renegade and Prophet” written by Lyndal Roper and published by The Bodley Head.
We get back down to earth with Gail encouraging us all to count the pennies.
