In this hour-long discussion, Professor Jon V. Kofas discusses the factors that led the German priest and theologian Martin Luther (1483-1546) to protest against the policies of Catholic Church and break away from it, creating a new Christian denomination of Protestant Church.

Protestantism and Lutheranism not only weakened the influence of the Church in the government policies in Europe, but led to various changes in the Western society, leading to today's capitalism and modernism.

Professor Kofas analyzes how Martin Luther's movement played an important role in transforming culture, politics, religion, and every aspect of European society.
