Characterizes the events that led to the Reformation in Europe, considering particularly the influence of Martin Luther. Explains that Luther challenged the Catholic Church, believing that personal faith in God, not the purchasing of indulgences from the Pope, was all that one needed for salvation. Outlines Luther's years in exile and notes his work to translate the New Testament into German. Includes the influence of John Calvin and John Knox, the return to the Roman Catholic influence under Mary Queen of Scots and Mary Tudor, and the permitted difference in religious choice established under Queen Elizabeth.
