Heroes & Heretics of the Reformation

Not since the birth of Christ has an event shaken the foundations of the Western world like the Reformation. Now, 500 years after Luther nailed his ninety-five theses to the door at Wittenberg—the sound of which served as the thunder presaging the storm to come—Phillip Campbell, author of The Story of Civilization, casts fresh eyes on that tumultuous time and its most influential characters.

It was a tumultuous time, filled with heroes, heretics, and some who were a little bit of both. It was a time of destruction and rebuilding. Some sincerely sought reform while others sought merely to profit by it, and some—perhaps too few—used the events of the time to become saints.

Through the lives of those above and others, dramatically unfolded in Campbell's stirring narrative, learn how the heroes and heretics of the tumultuous sixteenth century shook the world, for better or for worse.

Phillip Campbell holds a BA in European history from Ave Maria University and a license in secondary education from Madonna University.
