"Five hundred years ago a stubborn German monk challenged the Pope with a radical vision of what Christianity could be. The revolution he set in motion toppled governments, upended social norms and transformed millions of people's understanding of their relationship with God. Fired up by their faith, Protestants have embarked on courageous journeys into the unknown - traveling to distant lands to experiment with new forms of government and to worship in peace. Martin Luther didn't set out to change the world, but his ideas took a life of their own. Alec Ryrie makes the case that we owe many of the rights and freedoms we take for granted - from free speech and democracy to that all-American concept of limited government - to our Protestant roots."--From publisher.
