This is the story of the Reformation and its lasting legacy in effect how Protestantism created the modern world. It is a story of a revolution which has affected nearly every person in the West, and nearly every country in the world. It is a revolution which exists in every aspect of our everyday lives influencing the very fabric of our existence: from what we do for a living, to who we vote for, from who we go to war with, to how we see ourselves as individuals and as a nation. Its impossible to underestimate the impact of the Reformation. When Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church in Wittenburg in 1517 he was calling not just for the reform of the corrupt Church but for an entirely new way of thinking challenging the established authority for the first time.

'The Protestant Revolution' to go alongside the BBC series of the same name will explore the radical forces he unleashed and will examine the social impact of the Protestant Revolution, how it shaped family life, as well as the scientific, cultural, economic and political revolutions it brought about.
