This book describes how God, who wants all people to be saved, installed the 16th century major Reformation into world history. God trained, gifted, and protected Martin Luther to serve as leader for this reformation. This book also sets forth another major purpose that was needed for true reformation, namely, a reliable translation of Holy Scripture from its original languages into the common language of the people. Luther and his co-workers worked diligently for two and a half decades to finish their fourth edited copy by 1545. Since Luther and his followers were sentenced as unforgivable heretics by both the Roman Church and the major secular universal government, the reformation team was working under strong duress. But God kept protecting them through the small provincial government of Electoral Saxony, who kept insisting that Martin must receive a fair trial.
