The book is dedicated to one of the fathers of the Western European Reformation of the 16th century. There are epochs and personalities in world culture that define its appearance for many centuries to come. The Reformation played a huge role in the formation of the man of the New Age - free, active, responsible, disciplined, sensitive to the conduct of conscience, the creator of his own life. Hegel called Protestantism the meaning of the history of the new era. Luther and Calvin created not only a new theology and morality - they formulated the principles of decent private entrepreneurship, spiritually preparing Europeans for the elements of a market economy.
