Five interesting insights I learned from studying Reformation history this year.

God used Luther’s suffering to produce good

Luther concludes his argument with the four most rhetorically charged theses of the whole document.

Luther utilizes common critiques of indulgences to point the reader back to  his own proposed solution. 

An examination of theses 6-80 on the limitations of indulgences.

A review of the introduction and first five points of the Ninety-Five Theses remind us that this was not intended to be a revolutionary document.

Understanding the literary structure of the Ninety-Five Theses will enable us to better read the document.

Luther’s dispute over the issue of indulgences started as more questioning than rebelling.

We must be willing to see Luther as a man in development if we are going to see Luther as he truly was.
