Synopsis

The year 2017 is the five-hundredth-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 five-hundredth 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.

Goodreads review by Zack on April 28, 2019

This book has several interesting takes on the Reformation period as well as events and people related to the Reformation. It is very easy to read, but is also intellectually sound and intriguing.

Goodreads review by Bob on February 24, 2021

Topic and historical references seemed fair enough, but the obvious disdain expressed toward non-christians leads this reader to ponder the author’s true agenda. Sorta turns the entire book from a well researched piece into just another of way too many opinion pieces. Amen......more
