I watched Luther for the second time last night and was reminded just how great a movie it is. It's rare to find a film or TV show that takes the Christian faith seriously and represents it accurately. Luther does both while reminding us just how many advantages the modern church has. The scene that sticks out in my mind after last night's viewing is near the end when Luther has finished his German translation of the New Testament and brings it to Frederick the Wise. Frederick can barely contain his excitement at being able to read the Word of God for the first time. Do any of us have that same appreciation for the Bibles we have?

Highly Recommended: Luther
