For five centuries, Martin Luther has been lionized as an outspoken and fearless icon of change who ended the Middle Ages and heralded the beginning of the modern world. In Rebel in the Ranks, Brad Gregory, renowned professor of European history at Notre Dame, recasts this long-accepted portrait. Luther did not intend to start a revolution that would divide the Catholic Church and forever change Western civilization. Yet his actions would profoundly shape our world in ways he could never have imagined.

Something to think about
Revisado: 09-19-17
The overall thesis of this book was interesting...how the unresolved problems of the 16th Century Reformation have influenced and informed 21st Century America. While I may not agree with all of the author's conclusions, the questions he poses are important. The only criticism I have on the performance is that the voice actor needs to do better research on how to properly pronounce proper names. E.g. Melanchthon and Bonhoeffer. His continued slaughtering of these names was annoying.

On October 31, 1517, an unknown monk nailed a theological pamphlet to a church door in a small university town and set in motion a process that helped usher in the modern world. Within a few years, Luther's ideas had spread like wildfire. His attempts to reform Christianity by returning it to its biblical roots split the Western Church, divided Europe, and polarized people's beliefs.

Disappointing
Revisado: 05-21-17
I should have taken the clue from the introductory of the author, on their preconceptions and prejudices. While the research done by the author is commendable, it is the application of that research and judgement by modern and sectarian standards that is disturbing. The sacramentarian controversy is a good example. While correctly laying out the positions of Luther and of the Zwinglians, Roper than chides Luther for not bending toward them even though he (rightly) considered the Zwinglians not only just wrong but heretical on this topic. Add to that Mr. Page's narration which was very difficult to listen to. His constant mispronunciation of Melanchthon's name was grinding. I would not recommend this book or performance to anyone.
