Martin Luther
Rebel in an Age of Upheaval
Martin Luther (2017) details the life and times of one of the most important figures in European history. Five hundred years ago, the German priest Martin Luther sparked the Reformation, which would eventually bring the Protestant Church into existence and thereby create a permanent schism between the Protestant and the Roman Catholic Church. This book presents a fresh interpretation of Luther’s life, investigating what his actions – and the Reformation in general – tell us about the modern world.
- People skeptical as to the power religion can hold over people
- History junkies who want to learn more about how modern Europe emerged
- Anyone curious about one of the most famous historical figures of all time
