BBC - A History of Christianity (2009) Part 4 Reformation - The Individual before God

Professor Diarmaid MacCulloch reveals the origins of Christianity and explores what it means to be a Christian.

Part 4 Reformation - The Individual before God

Diarmaid MacCulloch makes sense of the Reformation, revealing how a faith based on obedience and authority gave birth to one based on individual conscience. He shows how Martin Luther wrote hymns to teach people the message of the Bible, and how a tasty sausage became the rallying cry for Swiss Reformer Ulrich Zwingli to tear down statues of saints, allow married clergy and deny that communion bread and wine were the body and blood of Christ.
