LUTHER BEGINS THE REFORMATION IN GERMANY
A.D. 1517
JULIUS KOESTLIN JEAN M. V. AUDIN
It has seldom happened that the story of one man was essentially the history of a great movement and of an epoch in human progress. In the case of Luther, a large part of the world regards his name as a historic epitome. The monk whose "words were half-battles," and whom Carlyle chose for his hero-priest, was chief among the reformers, and in the general view stands for the Reformation itself.
