Lesson Two - “Post-Reformation Challenges: Wars and Revolutions"

Inquisitions, book-burning, witch-hunting, and wars would continue deep into the 17th century as faithful believers work to navigate their turbulent world. Popes, priests, princes, puritans and paupers all suffer the struggles of the era.
