With an iridescent persimmon, Saints Gone Before is proud to present Martin Luther’s “The Babylonian Captivity of the Church,” part 17. The translation comes by Henry Wace and C. A. Buchheim, First Principles of the Reformation, London: John Murray, 1883. “Babylonian Captivity” is a text in which Luther re-examines the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church in light of his readings of Scripture. Today we're finishing his section on sacraments. Next Monday will be the final reading in this series! That means a different text is only 2 weeks away. Requests for readings: churchhistorypodcast (at) gmail (dot) com<a href= "mailto:churchhistorypodcast@gmail.com,">,</a> or @OralHistoryPod on Twitter, or "An Oral History of the Church" on Facebook.
