Our April 7-8, 2006 session of "Luther and the Reformation Era" was with Dr. Jane Strohl, Professor of Reformation History and Theology at Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary (www.plts.edu) in Berkeley, CA. Her earlier scheduled weekend class was postponed due to illness.

Her topic was "Other Voices of the Reformation." Who were the people that the Lutheran Confessions label as "our opponents" and what were their positions? Included were: The Catholic Reformation and the Council of Trent, the Reform tradition, both the Zwinglian and Calvinist movements, the Anabaptists, and the radicals.
