Join us for a rare treat! Dr. Robert Kolb is a world-renowned scholar on Martin Luther and professor emeritus of international research at Concordia Theological Seminary. He's made it his life's work to study the writings of Martin Luther, his contemporaries, and what we now know today as the Reformation. Through his many books, essays and articles, he has offered invaluable insight into Martin Luther’s thought and the network of colleagues and students who helped bring about one of the most important moments in history. “For Luther, the Christian life continued to be a battlefield in which Christ contends with Satan and His attempts to claim believers as His,” Kolb said. “As the Wittenberg professor preached and taught, he presented the Gospel as the mighty fortress and shield against the assaults of the devil, the temptations of the flesh and even the just wrath of God Himself.”
Between Dr. Kolb's lectures, we will be serving a catered pasta lunch. RSVP below to reserve your spot. Even if you don't plan to join us for lunch, we would love to see you at the lectures!
