Much more than Martin Luther ! Excellent research and presentation! It’s a treasure trove of history about the politics, religion and philosophical of the times leading up to and around the reformation. Enjoyable for many reasons. My son was studying Martin Luther at school and I found your...Read full review »

Steve, wonderful show. You really helped set the stage for a little pilgrimage I went on while in Germany recently. I will definitely mention this show to my networks. Well done!

I’m quite pleased with the Life and Times of Martin Luther. It was discovered as I was searching for more information on the Holy Roman Empire as an adjunct to the history of Poland. This podcast is both enlightening, informative and entertaining. I have discovered another facet of my family...Read full review »

Like Fogle, I searched for more info on this 16th Century renegade and found little. I am very grateful for these thorough Luther-centric podcasts!

I came across this podcast last month (Reformation day) and thought learning more about Martin Luther would be something I would enjoy. Looked over several books to purchase on Audible.com, then was happy to see this podcast for free. I have not been disappointed. This series is produced by an...Read full review »

Been trying to understand the HRE for a while. This was by far the best explanation to date. Many many thanks.

I look forward to every episode of this fascinating podcast. This could be dry as dust factual history but it is anything but that. You do learn the history but the story telling is humerus interesting and very well presented. Thank you and keep up the good work.

There are not enough podcasts covering this topic. This one gives the right amount of background detail, the episodes are not too long, and the speaker does well. I hope the podcast continues to cover the period after Luther as there don’t seem to be any podcasts covering German history after...Read full review »

Steve does a great job of giving you the background of the times before and during Martin Luther so that you get a full understanding of how his thesis evolved. Every episode has been a great history lesson, not just on Martin Luther, but the rulers and people of those days! And, thanks to Steve...Read full review »

This is a great single-narrator of history on Martin Luther. It goes into enough detail to be truly informative, without bogging down in minutia. I have used this source to prepare to teach lessons on Martin Luther. His voice and delvery are excellent and pleasant.
David der German via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/18/20
I truly appreciate the time and effort that you have put into your research on Martin Luther! Understanding the times and circumstances one finds themselves in, adds to the complete story and gives insight as to why things happened or at least influenced the direction of Luthers life. As I am...Read full review »

As I write this review I am 19 episodes in, and it is 12:45 AM EST, I can’t believe I am four years late to finding this amazing podcast. I recently finished listening to the Communio Sanctorum History of the Church podcast and was just searching names of random Church Fathers and Reformers and...Read full review »

I find Steve’s presentations very informative. While I was only looking to find out more information about Rev. Dr. Martin Luther, Steve has broadened my view and understanding.

As a student of both history and Protestant theology who hopes to enter Episcopal holy orders one day, I appreciate this podcast. The show is objective and informative. It should be taken as a compliment when I say it comes off more as an audio book than a podcast. I am looking forward to...Read full review »

I really enjoy this podcast. I am a Lutheran but I do not know much about the history of the time. The speaker is pleasant to listen to and knows a lot. I would like to see more regular episodes

I came across this podcast almost by accident, looking to get some deeper understanding of Luther and the world around him. I looked at the list of episodes, and decided to give it a shot.

This is a lively and detailed tract, hugely informative and kept interesting. It is well referenced and balanced and gives so much context and insight into this important figure’s life. A great piece of work and service.
Iango82 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 07/18/18
I have made it through now only about 10 of 27 podcasts on the subject. Steve is extremely well-read, something I hope to be after some time. These podcasts got a rating of 5 because I feel he has done a great job of plucking the important information out of his research and conveying that then...Read full review »
Lorenjl via Apple Podcasts · Norway · 05/11/18
This podcast is a great idea, but unfortunately the execution is lacking. I find it hard to listen to. So much time is spent on background issues and semi-related ideas. For those wanting to learn more about Martin Luther, you have to trudge through a LOT of chaff. Also, the author spends so much...Read full review »
