Christian History Institute presents a new three-part documentary on the Reformation. This Changed Everything explores the roots and the fruits of the Reformation while grappling with difficult questions about the legacy of division. Martin Luther and his fellow reformers stripped away the veil obscuring the good news of grace through Christ alone. Yet the Reformation that followed came at a high price: decades of warfare, political turmoil, and social upheaval, and the specter of Christians killing Christians in the name of the Gospel. Most agree that the medieval church was in dire need of reform, but could complete schism have been avoided? How should we think about our divisions in light of Jesus’ passionate prayer that his followers be “one”? Leading scholars from a broad range of perspectives tell the dramatic story of the Reformation, analyze its effects, and address vital questions about unity, truth, and the future of the church. Actor David Suchet provides narration. For more information on the series, go to www.ThisChangedEverything.com.

“Here’s what the Reformation really is all about: it’s about discovering quite surprisingly that our relationship to God is not based upon what we do but rather what God does for us in Jesus Christ.” ~ Rev. Dr. Timothy Wengert, professor of church history, Lutheran Seminary, Philadelphia

“There can be no real unity without truth.” ~ Fr. Thomas Kocik, parish priest, Archdiocese of Boston

“The Reformation debates, therefore, must continue in the right way, but they must continue in the spirit of oneness.” Produced by Christian History Institute www.ChristianHistoryInstitute.org Distributed by Vision Video www.VisionVideo.com 1-800-523-0226
