Martin Luther: A Biography of the Reformer Who Sparked the Reformation
By the end of the 15th century, many people in Europe were questioning the authority of the Catholic Church. This included theologians and philosophers as well as Godly Christians and people from all walks of life. It was a dangerous endeavor, as those who spoke out against the Church risked being labeled as heretics and could be excommunicated for their words and behavior.
Individuals and small movements that questioned the Church’s authority, however, were generally brushed aside, ignored, and, only when deemed a threat, labeled as heretics. The total grasp of the Catholic Church in Western Europe seemed unassailable. That was until a charismatic young man named Martin Luther challenged the status quo.
Armed with his charm, his wits, and the power of the newly invented printing press, Martin Luther began a revolution that took hold and changed the demographics of Europe forever.
