Luther Front and Back: Interview with Hans Wiersma
Prof. Dr. Hans Wiersma, specialist in Lutheranism and Reformation history is spending the year at KU Leuven to write a book in which he argues that 1520, as opposed to 1517 (Wittenberg) or 1521 (Edict of Worms), can be considered the pivot point in the Reformation. In this interview Wiersma talks about the idea behind the book, highlights the central role that the Louvain theologians played in the dispute with Luther, and introduces the cinematic cast of characters—from Luther to Erasmus to Pope Leo X—that made 1520 so crucial – Image: Martin Luther and his wife, Katharina von Bora.
