Luther and the church door

You mentioned the famous story of Luther nailing his theses to the church door. Before you get to cover Luther in more detail, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the historicity of this event is actually disputed. See the relevant Wikipedia article with further references: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninety-five_Theses#Distribution_and_publication

However, the 95 Theses themselves did exist, and Luther did publish them in some way, so it does not make a big difference for the history of philosophy. Still, it may make us see the Luther of 1517 as less provocative.

Anyway, thank you again for this great podcast, and I'm looking forward to the coming episodes!
