Luther Colloquy
October 26, 9AM - 4PM
ULS Gettysburg campus and via Zoom
ULS is excited to host the 2022 Luther Colloquy and bring distinguished scholars to the seminary.
The year 1522 was decisive in the history of the Reformation—Luther repudiated the push for rapid, iconoclastic changes to worship led by his one-time ally Andreas Bodenstein von Karlstadt, aligned himself with a prince-led Reformation, and published his prayerbook and his translation of the New Testament to shape the piety of the “common person.” This year’s Luther Colloquy examines how Luther secured the endurance of the Lutheran Reformation and asks what we can learn for good or for ill. How did Lutheranism establish itself as the status quo and what resources for a theological challenge to the status quo remained and remain?
Speakers: Volker Leppin, Amy Nelson Burnett, R. Guy Erwin (ULS President), Monica Melanchthon
