Table Talks

My camera died in Wittenberg so I had to borrow a camera. Won't have those pictures for about a week. I'll post them to facebook when I get them.

Here's the table where Martin Luther had his infamous table talks. I got in trouble for taking a flash photograph. Oops! Pretty amazing to think that much of our theological thinking today can be traced back to some of the theological conversations around this table. Luther's five solas and 95 Theses and Augsburg Confession reshaped 16th century theology. But his table talks were the bread and butter of a simple parish priest that was trying to be true to Scripture and true to God.

Shamefully, I do not know much about the Reformation. I need to learn more and hope you can shed light on some next week! I love old wooden tables. They have such depth of character. Thank you for sort of getting in trouble to get the shot, although I am sure you did not intend to get reprimanded for the flash photography!
