How did one man-a humble monk and Bible professor-spark a religious rebellion that changed the course of history? What made Martin Luther's theology so explosive in 16th-century Europe? How did this late-medieval man launch the Protestant Reformation and help create the modern world? And how should we think of him: hero or heretic, rebel or tormented soul?

good sketch of Luther but don't stop here
Reviewed: 01-18-18
the narration was good and energetic. he presents a fair portrait of Luther's good and bad qualities. He contrasts Luther against other reformers in doctrine, time, and place. The professor's allergy to the doctrine of election and predestination inhibited his ability to represent it fairly. instead he presents a straw man. nevertheless it's still a very helpful listen in setting up the thumbnail sketch of Luther and the reformation, particularly in preparation for later reading.
