Interesting Heads and Tales! Luther and Reformation Medals
Pastor Fred Schumacher
Everyone knows that if it had not been for Gutenberg’s invention of the printing press, Luther’s 95 Theses may have ended with a debate among scholars and students at the University of Wittenberg,.. But very few know that that the coin and medal press also spread the Reformation. Come and learn how this was accomplished and how Luther has been interpreted on over three thousand medals (more than anyone in history)!

As we approach the 500th anniversary of Luther's activity in Wittenberg, it's important to remember there were other Reformation cities that were markedly different. In this session we will look at Wittenberg, Augsburg, Zurich and Geneva as they were 500 years ago and a bit of what they are like today for those making the anniversary trek.
