A look at many different aspects of how Martin Luther became the Father of the Reformation.

"The Accidental Revolutionary": In his quest for spiritual peace, Luther had no idea he'd leave his world in turmoil.

"The Parents Luther Feared Disgracing": Were they caring and firm - or so harsh they drove him to rebel against every authority in his life?

"Preaching from the Print Shop": If Luther hadn't used the new printing technology, would there have been a Reformation?

"The Bible Translation that Rocked the World": Luther's Bible introduced mass media, unified a nation, and set the standard for future translations.

"The Gallery: Luther's Friends and Enemies": Luther made plenty of both.

"The Political Luther": The reformer revolutionized more than people's views on the church.

"Luther's Political Nemesis"

"Luther's Political Allies"
