Its agents, such as witches were “scapegoats” that could readily be identified and punished. Book Two reveals the concept of the witch in the society of France, Netherlands, Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. Book One reveals the linkage of witches to Luther’s condemnation of them as the source of the devil. Have you ever asked why Christian Western Civilization has lost its vitality and is in decline? Why is there so much uncertainty and division within America and Europe that appears to bring us to the brink of civil war? Some of the seeds of dissent may have been planted when Martin Luther, a devout Augustinian monk turned against the Roman Catholic Church. When Luther refused to recant his writings, his rebellion and dissent spread all over the Christian world. The dissent caused other princes within the Holy Roman Empire to suddenly realize an opportunity for a break with Rome and a seizure of its vast array of assets. This work will reveal the religious wars that plagued all of Europe and at a critical time when the Ottoman Empire of the Muslim faith was at the gates of Vienna. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e(319pp. color illus. index.
