December 6, 2003. ר The Fourth Day of Christmas-- The Movie, Luther.

It has long been my custom to send out lists of good things of the year with my Christmas cards. I thought it might be nice to set this out one by one in my weblog. They are not in any particular order. Here is the fourth.

4. Luther (2003), a strangely touching movie with a superlative performance by Peter Ustinov in the small role of Duke Frederick the Wise. Note the crucial role of individual university professors Luther and Karlstadt--scholars had a high place in Medieval Europe -- and the pervasive religiousity of Europe then.
