The Reformation unfolded in the cathedrals and town squares of Europe - in Wittenberg, Worms, Rome, Geneva, and Zurich - and it is a stirring story of courage and cowardice, of betrayal and faith. The story begins with the Catholic Church and its desperate need for reform. The dramatic events that followed are traced from John Wycliffe in England, to the burning of John Hus at the stake in Prague, to the rampant sale of indulgences in the cities and towns of Germany, to Martin Luther nailing the 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in 1517, to John Calvin's reform of Geneva. Erwin W. Lutzer captures the people, places, and big ideas that fueled the Reformation and explains its lasting influence on the church and Western civilization.

Erwin Luther. Rescuing the Gospel: The Story and Significance of the Reformation. Grand Rapids: Baker Books, 2016. 206 pp. $14.79The 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation will soon arrive. A handful of evangelicals await this special day of celebration, when on October 31, 2017 they will remember Luther’s courageous act as he nailed the Ninety-Five Theses to the Castle Church in Wittenberg. Tragically, most will allow the day to pass by - completely unaware of the significance of the day.
Dr. Erwin Lutzer’s new book, Rescuing the Gospel: The Story and Significance of the Reformation tells the fascinating tale of the Protestant Reformation and walks readers along a God-glorifying path that shine the spotlight on the central figures of the movement, including Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, and Huldrych Zwingli.
The author covers much ground in this 200 page volume. He not only surveys the broad sweep of Reformation history; he also summarizes the foundational doctrines that were rediscovered during the Reformation.
Lutzer writes in a popular style which will no doubt appeal to a wide variety of readers and skill levels. The book is filled with beautiful photographs that bring the Reformation to life and invite readers on a journey that they will not soon forget.
The concluding chapter, Is the Reformation Over? is the most important part of the book. Dr. Lutzer interacts with theologians and historians that argue for the so-called demise of the Reformation. Nothing could be further from the truth, as Lutzer makes painfully clear. Indeed, the doctrinal divide between Roman Catholics and evangelicals is deep as it is wide. The point of the chapter and the point of the whole book is this: The gospel was largely forgotten and under attack in the days leading up the to 16th century. The battle for the truth of the gospel continues in our day as well.
Rescuing the Gospel: The Story and Significance of the Reformation is an important book that will educate and inspire. It will drive readers back to the rugged terrain of history and the deep wells of Scripture. It will challenge them to engage in the ongoing work of rescuing the gospel and continuing the legacy of the Protestant Reformers. I would urge readers to pick up a copy of my recent book, Bold Reformer: Celebrating the Gospel-Centered Convictions of Martin Luther, as a companion volume to Erwin Luther’s excellent work.
I received this book free from the publisher. I was not required to write a positive review.

Rescuing the Gospel The Story and Significance of the Reformation (Audible Audio Edition) Erwin W Lutzer Bob Souer Tantor Audio Books Reviews
Excellent read!! Highly recommended read for all Christians. I just finished Dr. Lutzer's book on Rescuing the Gospel, and am still trying to recuperate from the nausea that I felt while reading the truth about the Reformation and reasons for the split between the Roman Catholic Church and Luther. I must admit, when I was in college, I did take a course in Church history and remembered even back then that I was nauseated by the blood that the Roman Catholic Church shed in defense of the "the gospel according to Rome" -- However, this book encapsulates in a very reader friendly manner not only a history of the church and the different religious churches that came out of the Reformation, but also makes a clear distinction based on the differences of Scriptural doctrine. Sola Scriptura; sola gratia; sola fide; solus Christus; and soli Deo gloria -- Scripture alone, grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone and all to the glory of God.
Since I started reading R.C. Sproul, I've had an increasing interest in reformed theology. I also used to listen to Running to Win, so Dr Erwin Lutzer was known to me. The book's title is very appealing and catching. It reflects the state of Christianity in American, as well as the world with the prominence of liberal theology diluting the truths of the Gospel. It's definitely better than Stephen Nichols' The Reformation (although it covers some of the same material). In Nichols' book, he makes some silly assumptions about Zwingli that just didn't sit well with me. Rescuing the Gospel places more of the focus on Martin Luther than the Reformation as a whole. Probably 70% is about Luther and the rest on various other reformers of the same time period. I find this a worthwhile addition to Reformation books; if for no other reason, it comes from a trusted source and is also recommended by a trusted source (Albert Mohler).
On one hand, a concise account of how certain men in a certain period of history discovered and proclaimed the one and only Good News that Jesus Christ came, lived the perfect life we could never lived, died to take our punishment, and rose from the dead to prove that by trusting in his person and work alone is sufficient for reconciliation with God. In this I rejoice because we are no longer subject to the blasphemies of the Roman Catholic Church.
On the other hand, I am saddened to think about how different reformers and their followers would persecute and kill other reformers because they didn't agree. Unthinkable that some would drown others over the issue of baptism, for example. Maybe I can accept the mutual persecution among the fledgling Protestants because Romanism was so ingrained for centuries, the idea of different understandings of Scripture existing side by side would take time. The way I see it, Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, et.al. got the reformation started, but were still flawed men.
As a result, I agree with Dr. Lutzer that we are still reforming. We still need to unite around the essentials, not despite the essentials, and that unity around only the essentials.
This reading helped me focus on the gospel, the whole gospel, and nothing but the gospel.
