Review – Martin Luther

At least this PBS production was a little better than the one bankrolled by Thrivent. Though it significantly underplays the less savory parts of Luther’s story, it at least acknowledges his questionable responses to issues such as the Peasant Rebellion. On the other hand, it still fails to draw the ultimate connection between his theological stance and his political fortunes. Overall this was about what one would expect from a public television attempt to cover a man who all these centuries later remains controversial. Mildly amusing
