I've been watching the first three years worth of "The Tudors" and Martin Luther is mentioned in one of the shows. Dudes lived at the same time and did things that changed history. Henry VIII wasn't exactly thrilled with Luther at first.
So naturally I get curious about Luther, so I stream this on Netflix. It's 4 bucks here, or it may be available in your library system. One of the scholars in it says "Martin Luther was probably the first propagandist."
Heh.
I would go so far as to say he changed the history of Western Civilization. Was the man perfect? OH Hell No, but he was a brave man who stirred up the shit when it needed to be stirred up .
