Summary
This book is an illustrated guide to one of the most intense periods of religious upheaval since the founding of Christianity. In it the author traces the dramatic and compelling story of the Reformation from the Renaissance to the sixteenth-century wars of religion. Focusing on the key personalities and events of one of the greatestet turning poiints in the history of Christianity, he explains the often complex ideas that were at stake, and the political as well as religious issues involved. Bringing the period of the Reformation to life, it looks in detail to all aspects of the time period to determine why the Reformation happened, how it was carried out, and what it ultimately achieved. The key figures from the time period, including Martin Luther and John Calvin are brought to life in this overview. The key debates and controversies surrounding the time period are presented together in tandem with the wider political and social implications the Reformation continues to have on religion today.
