On All Hallows' Eve in 1517, monk Martin Luther posted his 95 Theses---and ignited a firestorm that scorched the medieval church and forever transformed Western society. Powerfully written and impeccably researched, Metaxas's biography vividly captures Luther's life and times, and celebrates the ideals of faith, virtue, and freedom that sustained his religious revolution. 496 pages, softcover from Penguin.
