Reformation
Author(s): Diarmaid MacCulloch
The Reformation, which began in 1519 when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of Wittenberg Cathedral, is the seismic event in European history. The medieval world was torn apart - everything was turned upside-down. These key events in European history are examined in this volume.
