These are the historic words attributed to Martin Luther as he took a stand for the radical convictions that should have gotten him killed.

However, Luther's strength of conviction and timing in history combined to set the stage for big changes on the European continent and beyond. Church historian and theologian Alec Ryrie knows all about this. And in this course he describes Luther's theological convictions during the pinnacle events of his life: his initial persecutions among the religious leaders of his day. Here are the titles of his video presentations:

- Confrontation
- Accused
- The Diet of Worms
- Revolution

This course is ideal for those who are looking to learn more about Martin Luther and his seminal theology.

Here's a video preview:
