Martin Luther's posting of the 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on 31 October 1517 is one of the most famous events of Western history It inaugurated the Protestant Reformation & has for centuries been a powerful & enduring symbol of religious freedom of conscience & of righteous protest against the abuse of power But did it actually really happen? In this engagingly-written wide-ranging & insightful work of cultural history leading Reformation historian Peter Marshall reviews the available evidence & concludes that very probably it did not The theses-posting is a myth & yet Marshall argues this fact makes the incident all the more historically significant In tracing how
- & why
- a 'non-event' ended up becoming a defining episode of the modern historical imagination Marshall compellingly explores the multiple ways in which the figure of Martin Luther & the nature of the Reformation itself have been remembered & used for their own purposes by subsequent generations of Protestants & others
- in Germany Britain the United States & elsewhere As people in Europe & across the world prepare to remember & celebrate the 500th anniversary of Luther's posting of the theses this book offers a timely contribution & corrective The intention is not to 'debunk' or to belittle Luther's achievement but rather to invite renewed reflection on how the past speaks to the present
- & on how all too often the present creates the past in its own image & likeness
