Keynote Speaker: Len Swidler, Temple University
It has been 500 years since Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. Although there is sketchy historical proof of this happening, it was an event that changed the world – and this great anniversary in 2017 will be marked in fitting style, not just in Wittenberg but across Germany and the world.
Luther and his Reformation transformed Western Civilization and impacted all nations with its fundamental break with the past. Temple University seeks to connect past and present at this pivotal anniversary to relate Luther and his world with the present and consider the impact of his Reformation that affects our world today
Come to Temple and follow in the footsteps of Martin Luther through Germany of the 16th Century and embark on a fascinating journey to the distant age of the Reformation and join in the dialogue that will relate these experiences to the present.
