The Church Is Fracturing, Revolution Is Brewing, And Society Is Changing Rapidly. Three Authors Who Shaped This New World With Their Pens—martin Luther, Desiderius Erasmus, And Philipp Melanchthon—will Now Be Shaped By It In Turn. When The Pope And King Henry Viii Of England Pressure Erasmus To Take A Public Stand Against Luther, Both Authors Will Be Forced To Wrestle With Literal And Figurative Demons. Erasmus Is Haunted By His Illegitimate Birth. Luther Struggles With The Rejection Of The Church And His Own Father. Melanchthon, Luther's Associate And A Long-time Admirer Of Erasmus, Is Increasingly Caught In The Middle, Forced To Choose Between Two Men He Venerates Or Be Torn Asunder. The Three Men's Lives And Fears Are Woven Together As Events Spiral Out Of Their Collective Control.

“If the ethical – that is, social morality – is the highest ... then no categories are needed other than the Greek philosophical categories.”
Fear and Trembling • Soren Kierkegaard
“After all, in the poets love has its priests, and sometimes one hears a voice which knows how to defend it; but of faith one hears never a word. Who speaks in honor of this passion? Philosophy goes further. Theology sits rouged at the window and courts its favor, offering to sell her charms to philosophy. it is supposed to be difficult to understand Hegel, but to understand Abraham is a trifle. To go beyond Hegel's is a miracle, but to get beyond Abraham is the easiest thing of all.”
