LUTHER AND THE REFORMATION...DID YOU KNOW...

+We are celebrating 500 years of the Reformation?
+Most scholars agree that the medieval church was in dire need of reform?
+Could complete schism have been avoided?
+Martin Luther and his fellow reformers stripped away the veil obscuring the good news of
            grace through Christ alone?
+The Reformation that followed came at a high price: decades of warfare, political turmoil,
            and social upheaval?
