From the Atlantic Monthly of December, 1883.] TVEE power which presides over human destiny and shapes the processes of history is wont to conceal its ulterior purpose from the agents it employs, who, while pursuing their special aims and fulfilling their appointed tasks, are, unknown to themselves, initiating a new era, founding a new world. Such significance attaches to the name of Luther, one of that select band of providential men who stand conspicuous among their contemporaries as makers of history. For the Protestant Reforma tion which he inaugurated is very imperfectly apprehended if construed solely as a schism in the Church, a new departure in religion. In a larger view, it was our modern world, with its social developments, its liberties, its science, its new conditions of being, evolving itself from the old.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book opens with an overview of significant figures in history, highlighting how their actions had major impacts on society. The author then narrows the focus onto Martin Luther, an Augustinian monk whose actions would change the course of Western Civilization. The author argues that Luther's theology was essentially conservative and biblically based, but that the wider implications of his ideas were revolutionary, providing the foundation for modern notions of national sovereignty, individual conscience, and intellectual freedom. The author situates Luther within the broader context of the Protestant Reformation and discusses the movement's impact on Western nations and societies, concluding that Luther's central message and ideas remain highly relevant for understanding national and personal liberty today.
