2017 is the quincentennial of the publication of Martin Luther’s Ninety-five Theses. Intended as an invitation to a theological debate, the Theses and their aftermath sparked a period of unprecedented cultural upheaval, dividing Europe and giving rise unexpectedly and unintentionally to many features of the modern, secular West. Panelists will reflect on Luther and the Reformation’s significance from a variety of historical and contemporary perspectives. Speakers: Euan Cameron, Henry Luce III Professor of Reformation Church History, Union Theological Seminary and Columbia University / David Gill, Consul General, Federal Republic of Germany / Brigitte Kahl, Professor of New Testament, Union Theological Seminary /Serene Jones, President and Johnston Family Professor for Religion & Democracy, Union Theological Seminary / Heidi Neumark, Pastor, Trinity Lutheran Church of Manhattan
