How Martin Luther’s 95 Theses Changed the Modern World

In 1517, Martin Luther challenged the preaching of indulgences. His Ninety-Five Theses helped ignite a religious conflict whose consequences reached far beyond the church. This illustrated documentary explores how the Protestant Reformation helped reshape education, work, political authority, and freedom of conscience—and why its legacy remains visible today. We follow the story from Luther’s challenge and the printing revolution to religious wars, the struggle for toleration, and Christianity’s global influence. Along the way, we examine the limits of familiar claims: Did Protestantism create capitalism? Did religious division lead directly to modern freedom? The answers reveal a history of unintended consequences, competing convictions, and profound human costs. Visuals include AI-generated historical illustrations and animation. Narration uses a synthetic voice. The images are artistic reconstructions, not documentary evidence. #Reformation #MartinLuther #History
