These questions have to do with both readings. Good luck!

1. p. 95: what's the significance of the distinction between Luther's law/gospel dichotemy and Karlstadt's emphasis on letter vs. spirit?
2. What is Gelassenheit? Think about aspects of Eckhart's sermons that seem to emphasize this idea.
3. Explain the significance of the issue of clerical celibacy in the context of Luther's reform.
4. Explain the symbolic importance of Karlstadt's Christmas mass in 1521.
5. Who were the Zwickau prophets and why were they important?
