Details

The reformation did not happen instantly. God patiently performed it for many years. As you read this book, you will learn how God used different people to sow the seeds of the Reformation long before October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther proclaimed his ninety-five theses.

This book contains information about him and about forty other participants of the Reformation (including John Knox, Pyotr Martyr Vermyly, Zachary Ursyn, Willem Tillink and others). Most of them are heroes of the Reformation.

In order to show a broad picture of this multifaceted period of church history, the book also includes chapters on Anabaptists and the Counter-Reformation. At the end of the book, a brief description of the influence of the Reformation on different spheres of life is given.
