A Return to Grace: Luther’s Life and Legacy

In 2017, we commemorated the 500th anniversary of a pivotal moment in Western history: the inception of an idea that continues to influence every American to this day. Back in 1517, societal power rested with a select few, thoughts were governed by an elite group, and ordinary citizens led lives lacking hope. It was on October 31 that year, when impoverished monk Martin Luther ignited a transformative revolution. He had no military force, yet he advocated so strongly for nonviolence that, 400 years later, Michael King changed his name to Martin Luther King to align himself with the original cause. This movement, known as the Protestant Reformation, profoundly altered Western civilization, encouraging the pursuit of individualism, religious freedom, women’s rights, the separation of church and state, and the establishment of free public education. The very existence of pilgrims, Puritans, and the America we understand today is intertwined with the Reformation’s impact. *A Return to Grace: Luther’s Life and Legacy (2017)* provides a thorough exploration of this monumental period.
