Více o knize

The book explores the transformative impact of Martin Luther on Christianity and German society, emphasizing his role in challenging the authority of the Pope and initiating a new era of religious democracy. It highlights the shift from a hierarchical Church to one grounded in personal faith, where priests embrace family life, reflecting a more human and relatable religion. The narrative acknowledges both the losses and gains brought by Protestantism, particularly in moral integrity and duty, suggesting that while some traditions faded, a nobler society emerged.
