About this sermon
After the Diet of Worms, the fiery monk became a husband, father, and professor — yet Martin Luther’s later years were as complex and dramatic as his Reformation beginnings. From his marriage to Katharina von Bora, the runaway nun who became “My Katie,” to his translation of the Bible into German and struggles with illness, politics, and inner conflict, Luther evolved from firebrand to family man and back again. Amid joy, tragedy, and controversy—including his pastoral writings, his reflections on government after the Peasants’ War, and his troubling late attacks on his opponents—Luther’s final years reveal both the humanity and contradictions of the man who changed Christianity forever.
