Course Description:
With the amount of material written on the ideas of Martin Luther, one might assume that nearly every aspect of his thought has had extensive treatment. However, some themes in the Reformer still remain relatively unexplored. Mark Mattes addresses one of these neglected themes of Luther: beauty. Based on his Mattes's book Martin Luther's Theology of Beauty, this course places Luther's thought in its medieval context, and demonstrates why this theme of beauty matters today. About the Instructor:
