Description

Luther Legacy from Lutheran Film Associates is four leader-friendly programs packaged on one DVD, each a quarter-hour presentation. When followed by discussion, these teaching tools can help participants to discover what the legacy of Martin Luther and the Reformation is and how it helps to shape the faith of Christian believers today.

Scenes from "Martin Luther" provide the ideal illustrative drama to make memorable the role of Luther and the conscience issues he and his colleagues struggled with — issues which gave the Protestant Reformation its agenda.

"Martin Luther" is famous as a widely-screened theatrical feature film, first produced and released in the 1950s. Now some 45 years and many awards later, it remains a gripping, involving and authentic dramatization of that pivotal era in human history. Bill Whitney of CBS News presents an array of filmic moments and raises questions to help viewers appreciate the relevancy of this history of spiritual realities in our day.

A leader's guide for each 15-minute video presentation is included to assist the leader to use the teaching tool for maximum effectiveness.

The unit titles:
1. Who was Luther and what was driving him?
2. How 95 arguments triggered a revolution
3. A rebel on trial: "Here I stand!"
4. The Protestant movement underway
