On an April evening over 400 years ago a simple monk faced the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. His words, heard by only a roomful of people, have echoed through centuries: My conscience is captive to the World of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand. Because he took his stand, Martin Luther shattered the structure of medieval Catholicism and initiated Protestantism. A definitive life of the monk who cried out against the corruption of the medieval church and changed the history of the world, with a full background of the period and church affairs, quotations from Luther's writings, etc.
