| Summary |
"A Reforma" by Thomas M. Lindsay is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the significant religious movement known as the Reformation, focusing primarily on its genesis in Germany through figures like Martin Luther. It examines how the Reformation catalyzed substantial shifts in social, political, and theological contexts throughout Europe. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the fervent atmosphere surrounding the Reformation's inception, sparked by Martin Luther's poignant critique of the sale of indulgences by Johann Tetzel. It vividly describes Luther's indignation and his subsequent action in posting his ninety-five theses at Wittenberg, a bold move that called into question the practices of the Catholic Church and underscored the quest for spiritual authenticity. This section sets the stage for the unfolding narrative of how Luther’s challenge to ecclesiastical authority ignited widespread transformation and unrest, laying the groundwork for a pivotal chapter in Western history.
