“Happy Halloween”—This is the extent of the Reformation in the collective memory of America. The church is not much better. Many Lutheran and Presbyterian churches know little of the Reformation and what it did for America. What would Luther think? What did our Protestant forefathers suffer and die for?—so that we may be ignorant of our past and impotent in our future?
What happened almost 500 years ago was a revolution. A revolution that revived Western Civilization, propelling it into the 21st century. We are the offspring of Luther, Calvin and Knox—whether we agree with their theology or not.
This is the lost story of the October 31st Revolution—of how it started and what it meant for the church and society of Europe and America.
