Luther rediscovered the Gospel of grace.
In Luther, the 21st century has an opportunity to see a historically faithful drama of the great Reformer's contributions!Martin Luther's legacy extends far beyond that of the church that bears his name (quite against his wishes): He rediscovered the Gospel of grace and spread it to all Christendom, whether they acknowledge it or not. In proclaiming mankind's freedom of conscience to the entire world, a direct personal relationship with God, sans intermediaries, becomes feasible. That is the crux of Luther's legacy.Perhaps the media could be further convinced of his universal appeal ---- I would suggest that The History Channel might be a proper media outlet for a televised airing of this film. That channel's historical film presentations usually include scholarly discussion groups associated with the film's subject.
