Aired: September 13, 2007, The Protestant Revolution is a Four-part documentary series in which historian Tristram Hunt explores the scientific, cultural, economic and political aspects of Protestantism.
In “The Politics of Belief”, he uncovers how a debate about religion in 16th Century Germany (Martin Luther’s challenge to the Pope) sparked a political revolution – from the bloody battlefields of medieval Germany to the Civil Wars of the 1640s in Britain, Protestantism unleashed a series of revolutions and wars that rippled across Europe.
