• (Christians, The series, Part 7) In the year 1517, on the evening before All Saints Day, Martin Luther posted on the church door in Wittenburg his protest against the wicked ways of Rome. His theses were widely and quickly disseminated. In two weeks, all Germany had read them. And in four, all of Europe. The Reformation was underway. Supported by the Prince of Wittenburg, Luther translated the Bible into German. The Bible soon became a familiar part of every Protestant home. In England the pendulum swung from one extreme to another. Henry VIII confiscated Church property and dictated the religion. Elizabeth I restored some order by allowing the coexistence of Protestantism and Catholicism.
