The doctrine of salvation by faith alone through grace alone is the cornerstone of the Reformation. But what do faith and grace mean? And who gets to decide? The storied Roman Catholic Church—or upstart Protestants? The answers clash like two armies when a devout Nun surprises Martin Luther and his wife, Katharine at their home. Will the Luthers convince the Nun to abandon her religious order? Or will the Nun silence the troublesome priest once and for all? Come see the answer and consider the ramifications of the Reformation on the church and our contemporary culture.
