Lecture on Martin Luther at CLU
The Rev. Kapp Johnson will examine one of Martin Luther's works in a lecture titled "Liberty for Whom, Freedom for What? Reflections on Luther's 'Freedom of a Christian' in a PostChristian World" at 4 p.m. today, Thurs., Feb. 19, in the Roth Nelson Room on Mountclef Boulevard near Memorial Parkway on the campus of California Lutheran University, Thousand Oaks.
In 1520, Martin Luther wrote the treatise "The Freedom of the Christian" in which he contended that a Christian is "free Lord of all, subject to none" and at the same time "servant to all, and subject to all."
Johnson's lecture will examine the treatise in light of the era in which Luther wrote and suggest the work's implications for our own time.
CLU history professor Michaela Reaves and political science professor Jose Marichal will respond.
Johnson, a senior lecturer in religion and business at CLU, holds degrees in economics, theology and law.
The spring Reformation Heritage Seminar program is sponsoring the free lecture.
