Good article. The only exception I would have to it is that it sounds like the author places the entire Reformation on Martin Luther's shoulders when we know that the “storm” had been brewing for hundreds of years prior to Luther's 95 Thesis and continued well past his death. He was far from alone in his God-guided endeavor.

Yes, I agree. I actually think the problems started around 1200AD when many were leaving the Catholic Church over the Crusades. New stricter rules came into practice leading to the likes of John Wycliffe, Jan Hus, and William Tyndale. These great men planted many seeds which blossomed.
