The Reformation 500 Years Later

12 Things You Need to Know

By: Benjamin Wiker

Narrated by: Jim Denison

The year 2017 is the 500th-year anniversary of Martin Luther nailing his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany - the event that marked the beginning of the Reformation and the end of unified Christianity. For Catholics, it was an unjustified rebellion by the heterodox; for Protestants, the release of true and purified Christianity from centuries-old enslavement to corruption, idolatry, and error.

So what is the truth about the Reformation? To mark the 500th anniversary, historian Benjamin Wiker gives us The Reformation 500 Years Later, a straightforward account that rejects the common distortions of Catholic, Protestant, Marxist, Freudian, or secularist retellings of this world-changing event.

A must listen. very well read and detailed book.
the details around the popes, reformers and politics is well researched.

Very lean and intriguing

This reading was over too soon. It was always full of interesting insights, and performed well.

I don’t consider it a criticism to say it was over too soon, but upon reflection I do wish there were more chapters, or another whole book, exploring more of the present conditions of the Reformation, and paths toward converting the Reformation into a Re-Formation.

This book is itself a good step, as it convincingly exposes many divisive, deeply ingrained assumptions.

Must Read Book

The author always connects the dots ... everything is connected religion, culture, science, arts, and politics. He shows how multiple issues causes events

An Excellent book

If you want to have a deep knowledge about the Reformation you should read this book.
