The Scottsboro Nine

500: The Reformation

As the Protest Reformation swept across Europe, it did not go unanswered by the Catholic Church it was opposing. The counter reformation, a strategy to press back against the advances of the Protestant Reformation, and the Jesuits would be a significant part of taking back influence that the church had lost. Join John Bradshaw on location in Europe and be encouraged by the faith of the Reformers in the face of fierce opposition. Features special guest Dr. Gerard Damsteegt.

500: The Counter-Reformation

The most basic principle of the Protestant Reformation was the supreme authority of the Bible.

Millions of searching hearts would find the grace and peace that had inspired this courageous monk who dared to stand alone. Join John Bradshaw on location in Germany and follow in the footsteps of Martin Luther. Features special guest Dr. Leslie N. Pollard.
