This session had been rescheduled for this evening, WED 13 DEC 2017, but due to snow with more forecast, icy road conditions, and frigid chill factors this session must be postponed again to WED 10 JAN 2018

The Course of the History 
of the True Church of Jesus Christ:
An Introduction and Overview

Session Eighteen: “Martin Luther, Part One” 

Date and Time: Wednesday 10 JAN 2018 at 7:00 P.M.

Venue: Faith Baptist Fellowship Church
1397 Easton Turnpike, Lake Ariel, PA 18436

Speaker: John T. Jack Jeffery, 
Pastor, Wayside Gospel Chapel
Greentown, PA

Note: In this session we will begin our study of the Protestant Reformation with a viewing of the 1953 film, Martin Luther, which was nominated for two Academy Awards. A remarkable aspect to the production of this film was the careful historical research involving the assistance of two respected scholars on the Reformation: Theodore G. Tappert (1904-1973), Schieren Professor of the History of Christianity at Lutheran Theological Seminary (Philadelphia, PA); and Jaroslav Pelikan (1923-2006). Pelikan, who was teaching at Valparaiso University and Confordia Theological Seminary at the time, went on to co-edit Luther's Works, 15 vols. (Philadelphia: Concordia, 1955-1960), and to receive Yale University's highest academic honor with his appointment as Sterling Professor of History in 1972.
