Beskrivelse på dansk
Demokrati og velfærdsstat, nazisme og jødehad. Alt sammen følger det i hælene på den rodebunke til reformationen, som vel ikke engang Vorherre kan hitte rede i. Mange af os tror sågar, at det var den kriseramte munk Martin Luther, som slog de 95 teser mod kirkens afladshandel op på kirkedøren i Wittenberg og dermed for evigt forandrede alt mellem himmel og jord. Men det er løgn og latin - det var pedellen, der gjorde det. Gudskelov kan Bo Kristian Holm, ganske systematisk teolog ved Aarhus Universitet, skabe lidt orden i det herrens til roderi.
