In 1521, the Catholic Church was hunting for Martin Luther. Angered by the Christian reformer's unapologetic criticisms of the Church, the Holy Roman Emperor had called for him to be caught and punished as a heretic. Knowing that inquisitors would murder the monk and crush his fragile movement if they found him, Luther's followers spirited him away to Wartburg Castle in Germany. There Luther hid for the next eight months as his fate – and that of the Reformation – hung in the balance. In Luther's Fortress, acclaimed religious historian James Reston Jr. describes this crucial but little-known episode in Luther's life, revealing how Luther and his Reformation emerged from Wartburg Castle stronger than ever.
