When Martin Luther published his 95 Theses on indulgences in the autumn of 1517, he had no idea what epoch-making changes were about to begin. The Reformation has shaped the history of the last 500 years—not only in Germany but throughout Europe and beyond. This excellently designed annual companion illuminates various aspects of the Reformation, each with a generous illustration and a brief explanatory text. In this way, this volume accompanies you day by day through the anniversary year of 2017, allowing you to rediscover the Reformation from a surprising perspective every day. It includes a short introduction to the history and present of the Reformation.
