On this episode of Our American Stories, the origins of the Protestant Reformation trace back to a deceptively simple and deeply personal question. A Catholic monk named Martin Luther wrestled with it for years: Am I a good person? That spiritual struggle would ultimately shake the foundations of Christianity and transform Western civilization. Eric Metaxas, bestselling author of Martin Luther: The Man Who Rediscovered God and Changed the World, tells the story of how one man’s search for grace sparked the Protestant Reformation and changed the course of world history.
