Who Had The Best Martin Luther Costume?
In honor of Reformation Day (and because it's Halloween), I thought I'd do a quick Google search to find out how many movies have been made about Martin Luther and the Reformation.
The purpose?
Apparently, there have been only 5 movies ever made about Luther.
Boy, good thing we're not looking for the "Best Title" to a movie about Martin Luther!
People in Hollywood are so creative, aren't they?
Let's take a look at our nominees:
There are your nominees!
Remember, we're not judging who had the "Best Acting Performance" (since I could find a picture for Pryce's version), but it's who you think "looks the part" the best.
In a Lutheran Layman's terms, who do you think best resembles how Martin Luther really looked?
Well? What do you think? Please make your selection in the Comments Section below and please tweet this out with #BestMartinLutherCostume too.
[NOTE: As you know, I am a newly converted Confessional Lutheran who recently escaped American Evangelicalism. That being said, please contact me ASAP if you believe that any of my "old beliefs" seem to have crept their way into any of the material you see published here, and especially if any of the content is not consistent with Lutheran doctrine -- in other words, if it's not consistent with God's Word -- so that I can correct those errors immediately and not lead any of His little ones astray. Thank you in advance for your time and help. Grace and peace to you and yours!]

Thank you for visiting A Lutheran Layman! Please feel free to leave a comment or a question since we do not exercise censorship. We've seen a similar policy with other blogs and it's worth repeating: Please act as if you're a guest in my home, and we'll get along just fine. I think anyone would agree that the kind of back-and-forth that is characteristic of blogs/chat forums and social media is becoming tiresome for all of us. Still, we should confess, edify, and love (and contend and defend when needed). Bottom line? Search the Scriptures! Apply Acts 17:11 to anything and everything you find here and, if you do happen to disagree with something you find here (which is certainly ok), or think I'm "irresponsible" and "wrong" for writing it, then please refute my position by supporting yours with Scripture and/or the Confessions. I don't think that's an unreasonable request, especially for those who identify themselves as "Christians" here, right? Besides, Proverbs 27:17 tells us "Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another" and 2 Timothy 3:16 says, "all Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness." If you have an opinion that's great, I welcome it, but try to support it using God's Word. I mean, if the goal here is to help us all arrive at the truth of God's Word (myself included), then it should be easy to follow through on this one simple request (I'm talking to all you "Anonymous" visitors out there). Grace and peace to you and yours!
