About This Lesson
These are 9 of the most straightforward and poignant statements in the 95 Theses. They hit at the core of why Luther felt indulgences were wrong, and I've included 11 footnotes to help students with the difficult language. After are 2 questions asking students what Luther's main arguments are against indulgences and if they agree, or if they think that it is possible to buy indulgences and also be a good Christian. The second document is an abridged version, with only 4 of the Theses.
Good activity to help student rewrite and summaries primary source materials
