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.

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.

Truth not told

In this audiobook, Dr. Wiker does a great job in presenting a current day Catholic perspective on the reformation. Though personally, I wish that he could have been more detailed in the material presented. Overall I nevertheless can and do recommend this audiobook.

I also have to mention that Jim Denison did a great job in reading the text!

A Modern Catholic Perspective

This book was somewhat interesting but the title is misleading. It is far more of a history of how the reformation can about that a review of its contemporary impact.

Not what I expected

This is nothing but an atrocious, hysterical, utterly unbalanced polemic from the far Far Right wailing against reproductive freedom, homosexuality and all else “wrong” with “modern culture.” It is almost a parody of such treatises, beginning with such unabashed craziness I’m wondering if maybe it’s just a prank. One could only hope…

OMG!! Wretched!

This is a biased Catholic response to a reformation he never took time to understand before presuming to write about.
Protestants do not wish they had a strong central human authority to enforce the church’s power. They believe God is all the authority needed similarly to how God advised His people not to ask for a king because it would imply He was not good enough.
The war between the Catholic Church and the Lutherans cannot more accurately be summed up as a battle between the Catholic Church and some German princes.
And to suggests that The Reformation set off an endless splintering of reformations without in any way including the Catholic Churches influence on this other than by acknowledging a single bad pope is ridiculous.
